studying. the routes all for the prime minister's convoy and the amount of bodyguards he has to make to to try to commit the assassination attempt and also at some point making an explosive device was detonated in that one of these flats that's when one of the suspects was killed that's also when the authorities managed to arrest the other one the third one try to escape but since the second one was already arrested it didn't take very long for the police to find the third one although according to you thought of us the police also managed to track the suspects down using their mobile phones. ok for now talking to us from central moscow thank you for that update. now syria is awaiting results of sunday's referendum on

a new draft constitution but the government already heading it as a success the vote which went ahead amid reports of ongoing violence is said to have seen a high turnout despite being boycotted by the opposition parties men for national is in damascus for us. the interior minister has said that it will take hours before their preliminary results come out with the main result so far is the fact that this referendum actually happened they've been fears that those against the ballots could try to wreck the referendum they've been attempts to intimidate people reports have been circulated in local media about possible terror attacks at the polling stations the syrian opposition both the one base the bread and the help has not only boycotted the vote in but also has been repeatedly calling on all people to go on strike to take to the streets to protest against this referendum and against president bashar assad this referendum and this constitution has been considered part of a package of democratic changes democratic reforms promised by assad's government

we've seen demonstrations both prayer and anti government here in damascus criticism and pressure from the international community has also been quite high the main concern was that the very chain comes amid a valance to continue in in the country especially in the besieged city of homs north of the capital damascus indeed we are receiving reports about people being killed in the clashes between the opposition and authorities literally every day but the fact is that it hasn't stopped people from casting their ballots we have been able to speak to a number of voters and the feeling we've gathered is that people are simply tired of instability and unrest in that country and they say that if the results like chad's that this referendum and this constitution i really will to bring peace to the country it's worth to try this chance. when neighboring lebanon is one of the countries calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in syria the exclusive interview to ati's

arabic channel lebanese foreign minister. says meddling in syria's internal affairs and we worsen the crisis. and over to asia we rejected the idea of interference from syria's internal affairs from the very start as meddling from the outside will not serve the interest of its people or the syrian government such interference will only complicate the conflict that's why we have said that dialogue is the only way out of the crisis we think that russia and china have taken a wise position after all where does the outside interference lead to there are many examples of this in the region does it lead to stabilization as afghanistan become more stable in the last ten years no one can look at what's happening in the arab states outside interference only worsen the crisis in terms of both the struggle and causes outright damage to the people and the economy we're standing by syria by its people and its government we're standing for

a solution to the grocer's. or the u.s. and its allies are teaming up against president asset the e.u. set to freeze the assets of syria central bank its latest effort by nato states to put pressure on damascus however they root based political analyst among the shiny believes it's counterproductive saying it fails to address the needs of the syrian people. the direction is western politics and the western plan to. remove a president from office and they don't care at what cost if one wants to be really caring to with the syrian people really caring for the basic human rights basic a human preserving human life one should call for dialogue one should call for. more between the different groups within the syrian cultural diversity to come together and bring in a new solution and i think this step that was done with the vote the referendum for the constitution the amendments is a step maybe a small step but it is

a step forward in that direction towards the reconciliation and a true reform through democratic reform that can save syria the destruction that is being prepared for it apparently from some forces in the west. will there be a star regime change was not be repeated in syria so says presidential hopeful putin in his latest newspaper campaigners go ahead of the election on sunday. whose democracy by force these two opposite results in the extremists coming to power the government treats washington's policies suggest the us is trying to become invincible which is impossible as it would make other countries vulnerable and such interference in the affairs of other countries can push some governments to pursue nuclear weapons to defend themselves. you're watching r t we're still ahead this hour in gauged in this fights with fellow politicians detained drunken brawl in an
