well look. it's technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia. serious defined president vows to keep foreign forces out of the country as washington dismisses a military attack and other countries pull out in protest at the violence. as president obama makes a move for a peaceful foreign policy itself or a war hungry politician stick to their guns calling for military action against her brother and damascus. and ahead of a long weekend russia's markets and their wednesday session on a flight to bowls of notes with my sixteen point seven percent the r.d.s. war in this in twenty.

years in common broadcasting live from the heart of moscow on terror. president obama has ruled out an attack against syria saying it would be a mistake after leading a u.s. politician john mccain called for airstrikes syria's president assad responded by saying he's determined to continue fighting what he calls foreign backed terrorism the pressures piling on though spain has closed its embassy in damascus while china has withdrawn most of its workers over fears for their safety and the u.n. is considering a big u.s. proposed resolution demanding that both government forces and opposition fighters and the bloodshed the year long uprisings claims of thousands of lives and forced many to seek shelter are brought but there is one corner of syria that so far been untouched by the troubles of the notion of has been to visit. the muslim i

get along really well and we from the battles in this long running conflict time feels like it has almost stopped even the children here in ancient almost because language. now there really is a while knowing central syria is a unique place it's well known in the world has the only place on earth where people speak aramaic the language of business christ it has troubled neighbors and not have you and your brood of them perhaps while we were here is the twenty minutes away home a hundred kilometers away but this place is one of few in the country that has not seen any trouble or violence since the uprising began home to end of the strine and fourth century catholic church and dozens of mosques towers religious heritage is solid its residence legacy is keepers have a specific explanation of this luck. just finished tragedy didn't come to us because god loves the city but it seems that god is not the only one carefully as

christian dominated community mostly because the area in home still we feel sad because the people don't respect their coverage made a lot of we are free the people who come here to try to disturb us and destroy our peaceful life as they did in the homes of many cities but we trust the army and security and state. for decades the government of president bashar assad who is himself from the shia islam minority allawi sect has protected the interests of ten percent of the country's population who are christians by enforcing it's strictly secular program and by curbing the influence of radical eastern and the cycle of the we used to live in peace muslims and christians of course were afraid people from outside the city and the country may come and destroy disunity assad became more than just the head of state he's a kind of international symbol of this quite for

a line here that. when the time came the people turned a good mother to the same circle and want to street says the people here didn't join the uprising not because they were scared of the regime. that's because they were scared to lose this regime so that over there were people here he wanted to push against the government the president the army if you hear the army enter the city and kill people believe me this is a mistake the army is here to protect people can't bless our side we didn't want to protect this state and make it strong fears mounts though that these after it's not big enough would increase in calls for foreign intervention and the arming of the opposition and the we'd fight would be tragic. our country before the crisis was developing now we are all losing jesus said any kingdom that splits will die fast these people are receiving money and listening to the orders you want to rule in

this country. now that the leaders of wars i reckon by the towers in mar the fifteen i remember last april there were several men after friday prayers to try to persuade people to protest against the government encouraging them to go and make trouble we had a meeting with residents and the people then agreed to support the leadership the mom says they've never seen most of those people before and never saw their make again after the friday. we're not talking about normal people but people with an extremist way of thinking. in the towns charge the children continue to pray in aramaic arabic greek french but it's clear the prayers of the people of this unique town are understood in any language. briefed on. syria. one intelligence expert told us that despite president obama's land towards diplomacy he's not the one calling the shots and trying to remove the regime. well

right now the only thing that's kept us out of a war with syria has been essentially the us military and intelligence community have completely opposed any kind of military action so obama himself is really not completely in charge and events are being manipulated around him which could lead him to take a very dangerous action but so far the u.s. military has prevented from occurring the situation inside syria has been there many outside forces including al qaeda including forces from libya where we supported including forces from iraq have moved in and the power seized to try to force a regime change in syria and to force the russians in particular to submit to that and if the russians don't submit to that then you can have

a confrontation but there is no wielding attention by the obama administration or the west for a constructive policy. there are conflicting tales of the syrian struggle online at archie dot com. a security operation in holmes reveals the cia mossad and when tori is heard form formerly known as blackwater are involved in the ongoing military violence even though america says it condemns the fighting. libyan leaders say they'll use necessary force to keep the country from splitting apart as the eastern region declares a semi auto me for more go to are called for check out are you to travel. israel is cautiously welcoming the newly agreed resumption of nuclear talks between iran and world's powers saffron earlier said it would also allow nuclear inspectors to visit a secret military facility which is yet to be arranged the move follows israeli

threats of a preemptive strike on terror problems nuclear sites the western allies suspect on iran may be building an atomic bomb which it to nine is saying its program is only for peaceful energy previous visits by un atomic officials could not conclude on the existence of the weapons because they were denied access to key facilities but investigative journalist gareth porter is sure the watchdog and washington are in for a disappointment. i.a.e.a. has made a great deal in its november two thousand and eleven report about the alleged existence of a bomb containment chamber a cylinder that they were told by an unnamed member state which i am quite confident it was israel exists or did exist at some time. at the parchin military base. it was constructed supposedly in two thousand but the fact

is that the i.a.e.a. has no confirming evidence physical evidence of any kind that this containment chamber even exists let alone that it was ever used to test a nuclear weapons design so if in fact they go to parchin and find there's nothing there as i'm quite certain will be the case how will be i.e. a response to the situation i have a feeling that they will move on to the next piece of alleged evidence of a covert nuclear weapons program or a previous one and that the show will continue. but the battle cries all wringing over in the u.s. has we'll hear a little later on. we use military action against iran and we should not only go after their nuclear facilities we should just for their ability to make an additional war they should have no plane to comply and no ships that can float a trigger happy trio of american politicians continue to push conflict over

diplomacy when it comes to iran and syria even as president obama aims to set up. an independent body of russian election observer says gladiator coincidence victory was tainted the league of voters accepts he won the majority of the vote now claims there were multiple violations during the poll allegations the president elect has strongly refuted let's not get the details from our correspondent here however in central moscow firstly who exactly are the league of voters and what did the prime minister have to say in response to their harsh elections. the league of voters is a group that's made up of public figures in russia people like bloggers as well who are involved in this independent body they had a strong criticism of the presidential call that we saw on sunday doesn't seem to have all that the president elect but much though vladimir putin very dismissive of this this criticism saying well they he was expecting if you heard from the league

of voters before the poll and they were already set up to call them the election before to be held so the. the criticism that's been leveled against it's not surprising the prime minister you said that well the forty five million people that voted for him showed him well gave him all the proof he needed for how legitimate the elections would know the believe what they say it is highlighted four thousand five hundred complaints there were said their way about infringements on the during the election. on sunday one hundred of those was relating to the amount of ballots cast for a particular candidate now they they also highlighted that one hundred and sixty eight extra votes in moscow had gone to full blooded we have put no think about that in terms of the millions of voters that he had in the capital it's really something of a drop in the ocean and we also heard from the u.s.

backed a geo goal ups who are also critical of the election but they did point out this even with the revised figures that they've come up with that they still have would have pushed to be approved as a clear winner of the election out the first hurdle on sunday you know those revised figures they told us to come up with well they've not used any of the official documentation to produce those they've relied on text messages it was said to them by observers to know we have heard from the polling stations we have heard from foreign observers who are watching the elections and have referred to them as the the freest and fairest in russia's history so the prime minister the phrase it is elected not to worried about the criticism that's been leveled against him saying that the forty five million people who voted to have proof enough that the vote was legitimate now here it's still two months before step back into the kremlin as president what will be happening in preparation for the transition between now and. well he was asked by the press corps today well on

wednesday if he would be taking a holiday between now and stepping into the president's office again he said no of course he does have the job to do as prime minister he said there was lots of work leaders still for him to do in that role as prime minister what he was also asked is looking ahead to who will make up his cabinet now it seems that the current president to be made good it will step into the role of prime minister but he was asked about. the independent candidates who stood against a lot of people in the presidential race. an opportunity for him in the capital. of libya putin said that this was something that he wouldn't rule out all the pain to all. getting together with mr broke it off at the school see what he saw a potential role he could do it approved in cabinet and the situation being correct for both parties if they cannot happen then lucy said there was really there was no

reason why that could be a place to be in you've got to be a prudent cabinet but that was something that would have to be discussed at length before any decisions would be. to go before he steps into the role of president but still a lot of work to do as the prime minister before that thank you for that update our team is peter all over in moscow. now despite the fact that more than forty five million russians voted for their show of support is still being dismissed by some countries former top british diplomat david miliband didn't mince his words when it came to the election results criticism of some of political commentators described as ironic at best parties over bennett has more. a ruthless dictator whose days are numbered all exactly the language of international diplomacy but that's what britain's former foreign secretary thinks of russia's president elect casting his aspersions even before russians cast their vote while david miliband is

using these sort of expressions dictatorship conform to reality in a dictatorship people are not allowed to protest people are not allowed to walk around publicly with placards in the face of the leader of the country with the rocketry terms written across the cards we've seen this in russia we saw this last the same after the parliamentary elections and we've seen this. at the moments after sunday's presidential elections they did miliband comments appeared in a british tabloid the morning of russia's presidential poll long before it finished the m.p. accusing putin of reversing russia's reforms because of vested interests the sort of claim some experts say typifies the perception here of putin and russia one of the big criticisms i've had for a long time is that the coverage has been very stereotyped so that when bad things happen in russia then they get huge coverage and then when i think we're good

things or progress like genuine economic progress that tends not to get watered david miliband may not be in government now but he's widely expected to feature again should labor return to power should that happen you'll face a tough job repairing relations with russia after such a venomous attack talk about getting off on the wrong foot as miliband asserts that to a vital partners when it comes to foreign policy security and economic issues david cameron's reaction to putin's elections been far more measured until now the prime minister's haven't exactly been close didn't even make it on to cameron's extensive christmas card list last year but while cameron may not have congrats. person on winning he has endorsed the result it's clear delineation has delivered a decisive result evenly and your polling data put putin above the fifty percent needed to win in the first round the same can be said of britain according to the electoral reform society two thirds of m.p.'s elected in two thousand and ten

lacked a clear majority thanks to the ballot method first past the post is russia's electoral system perfect no it's not but the no electoral system in the world is perfect let's not forget that in britain no british prime minister ever achieves anywhere near fifty percent of the votes if you have a look at market for just ninety minutes of free landslides election victory tony blair's one hundred ninety seven landslide election victory but from never got anywhere near fifty percent of the votes the protest movement against putin's return to the presidency is certainly loud but according to official election results it's to war by those in favor received almost sixty percent of the vote predicts that support won't last for long but while it does britain will have to like it or lump it if it wants to do business michael bennett art see the senior

members of the notorious computer hacker group or with ties to the anonymous movement arrested and charged with cyber crimes by the f.b.i. the group is famous for attacking the websites of cia or fox news and credit card companies among others human rights lawyer a couple of xena smelly joins me now. thank you for being with us the arrest of a man we're also affiliated with the anonymous group known for what they call their fight for freedom online while the public have much sympathy for them given that some of their actions involve plundering credit card details apparently to make a point. i'm sure there will be a serious dispute a. second how should we have you actually as clearly criminal actions or as something dax is down for for this estate is a whole going to snow simple answer here but i think that thing only reflects a very difficult which in a society that is in poland we see with pride this is how he waits for introduce

aleutian and wait for people to help them to rebuild it gainst old fashioned regimes including the media regimes while the other feel threatened by this what they want is happening by the multinational and counterfeiting pact called actel was recently posted online for the public to comment on it who was really going to read through all of that and what people's changes be listened to anyway. i hope everybody will and everybody shoots an octo due to the amount of pressure she signed that agreement and in view of the truth that is to be became a topic that we all should care about and that's very thing that our rights and. this is a measure of everybody i think we are facing a very difficult time talking about a doctor because the game is not over it has to be stopped and the book is in union and it will come back next year octave you can come to justice is opinion and we all have to be very much aware of these places. there's no doubt about the internet

has been used for appalling crimes but how do you stop them without inflicting big brother on innocent internet users. that seriously and he should if we all have to consider and i do feel bad for social movements we have and the more watchdogs and more as us looking at what is going on behind your yucatan we will stop if you don't think the big market is looking at their leaks that he should be. you know and globally because it's just where most of these two things is coming from we've seen a wider range of protests both online and across europe held in germany and poland as well as in the netherlands among other countries tell me do you think we're in for more rallies of a web freedom. i really think that this is not good and stay in there really no

corporate you're not still football big time big year i would say you know that he . is going to keep you keep you. alive and it will be expected. and soon as we get back the act only. estimated as it begins that actually i should state you will get back to st francis you. call founder and executive director of the. clark in foundation thank you for being with us. giving peace a chance in tackling syria and iran may be on president obama's mind but that's certainly not the case for some of his senior compatriots in congress john mccain's call for air strikes against assad is not the first time the veteran senator has chosen troops over talks the last question for azhar reports he's not alone. they stick together through thick and thin from the queensland to the holy land from the

ball field and the battlefield they are senators joseph lieberman lindsey graham and john mccain seen frequently side by side both physically and politically the call for more war a song almost on repeat for them three have a matter war that they don't like they lead the charge to end up afghanistan we need more troops there are american troops the attacks by the enemy have gone up about a thousand percent in the words of. time is not on our side and they've been called everything from the three amigos the three blind mice and the axis of error i the website downsize d.c. dot org these tend to work together as a block there kind of an axis involved in foreign policy kind of her getting back to that old axis of evil that we heard about that foreign policy is not just limited to bush's of yours what here they are meeting with libyan president nor market darkie in august of two thousand and nine at a time when it was in the u.s. interest to call him friend mccain later tweeted this calling him interesting but

a year later i wanted him gone but if you want gadhafi to go in one of the steps among many would be to establish a no fly zone over the world stand by and allow a leader like put up the slaughter is on people and i'm going target for them iran if we use military action against iran we should not only go after their nuclear facilities we should just store their ability to make conventional war they should have no planes that can fly and no ships they can float we keep pointing the gun we haven't pulled a single trigger yet and it's about time that we did the two years on and that lack of immediate military action hasn't resulted in armageddon anything like it so the calls for action expand now across the globe the iranian nuclear program is a threat to the entire world foreign military intervention. is now the necessary factor to reinforce the suction assad needs to know that he will not

win now we find ourselves in virtually the same identical would be your leader syria what's going on in syria what's happening and how should we respond to it and once again i mean almost in response these guys come and say well we've got to go to war the mood of the american people may have shifted to ending the wars but the perpetual money for war does have its supporters they're very popular with the military industrial complex which sees every new adventure every new invasion every new occupation every new major bombing campaign as an investment but it's an investment fewer and fewer americans are willing to make as they've already lived through the consequences of the previous military adventures in fact critics say those who continue to follow senators mccain lieberman and graham are blind themselves they may hear the drumbeat for war but they fail to see the bigger picture the very real possibility of pitfalls ahead in washington christine for

our team. time now for the business news with dimitris so investors in russia can't make up their minds after the election it seems seems so on monday we saw a movement up then we saw a nosedive on tuesday and now again positive movement what analysts say basically the future of the country's markets depends on the improvements newly elected president will bring peace to western front on capital c's suit possible scenarios . well the best case scenario would obviously be that we have a very formally putin coming in and that he also gets a cabinet that is filled with sort of liberal minded individuals like to dream maybe profitable have a role in the government as well and that they focus on structure is just new reforms also they look at the state owned companies including transparency that would be a major catheters that would be tremendously positive for the market but a return to a police state would be absolute the worst scenario i think that's a very unlikely scenario but that obviously would mean that investors

a definite stay away from russian. problems take a look at how the markets were faring at the closing of wednesday's session it's a long weekend ahead so there wasn't much volume seen in the markets but the r.t.s. so managed to gain by just a notch the my sex by point seven percent by the end of the session now this difference is reflected in the way that the ruble was fairing was weakening versus a major currencies we look at it in a just a second now or the on the my six the main movers were of course world companies rolls near gaining on high oil prices more than one percent burbank that weaker than the market up just point three percent and one of the biggest gainers was russia's carmaker after val's which was up by more than six percent on the announcement that it's a partner or an investor in the company ran it was planning to maybe build some of its vehicles the can do on the basis of russia's after it's in russia now what's happening in the other global markets that are trading right now is in the u.s.

we're also seeing and positive movement with the dow up point three percent the nasdaq point six percent this is on the back of positive news coming from the labor market with the private sector adding more than two hundred thousand new jobs in february in europe we're also seeing positive movement pretty much close to the close of the session the not that much though the footsie on the back up just a point two percent with the the biggest gainers coming in the year of financial. sector and in the mining sector which were hit the most on yesterday's long. and the second biggest currencies where the euro is regaining positions versus the greenback in the ruble is continuing its decline against the dollar and against the euro. now also turns out that the slide that we saw on tuesday which was just one point six percent for the dow turned out to be very painful for sun businessman

especially for the twenty richest people turns out they've lost around eleven billion dollars in company value. the first russian company in these quarter of a technical how is planning an i.p.o. it says that it will be placing basically on the russian stock markets and the i.p.o. could rake in around fourteen million dollars vista group is developing information systems in mining energy telecommunications. and some news for tech geeks apple is expected to unveil a new type of i pad it could be the i pad three and that would reportedly have a slightly thicker body have improved cameras and display as well as a more powerful processor but there's also speculation that it could be a modified version of the i pad two called potentially the i pad h.d. which wouldn't have that much of a difference but would cost probably less for some of those penny pinching

consumers that have chosen other produce an apple because of their rights. that's all we've got for you for now we will be back in fifty five minutes time with an update i'll see you then. he.
