hard for russia to strike another veto to put them in a position where they must support any text that western countries to draft and lots of more discussions taking place within the united nations and outside of in it of course it has more information becomes available we will bring it to our viewers come across he editor of the creative syria web site says the desire of some foreign states to push for president as his departure may hamper mediating mission to syria. by sunday kofi annan who has. accepted is almost a friend to us studying the negotiations on many things they are trying to be a little bit more friendly than mean until. we see if that's opens the door for anything but i think i know they're not ready yet you have qatar and saudi arabia saying one thing to arm the opposition rather than to the present us of the end of

the day syria is too big to fail it's not eleven on bacon they cannot afford to have chaos and they're going to put a year or two i cannot imagine them being able to live with scales in syria so they would try to raise the temperature for the regime that was send more arms even if it goes to that i think it's not just sort of wired i think that was right. so i have heard of how here in r.t. interpret hearing their russian protests what a presidential election just around the corner we explore what exactly crying people to the streets on mass whether to support or speak out against the political status quo. to nukes north korea agrees to allow inspectors into the celebes and to suspend its nuclear program will find out what it gets in return later on a hologram. mine
