breaking the deadlock russia says it's ready to back u.n. action on syria and also in the peace plan put forward by the world body's envoy to the country. the afghan people and they will continue to pay any give out that this will to make them against the syrian government. dozens of killed and over one hundred injured in the latest spate of violence across iraq just one day after the ninth anniversary of the start of the u.s. led invasion. and thousands of workers in the u.k. left struggling to find employment among justice often learning they were placed on a secret police back the blacklist our top stories this hour.

international you come on live from moscow this is. moscow is ready to back a u.n. resolution on syria as long as it contains no ultimatums aimed at assad's regime that's according to the russian foreign minister who's voicing strong support for the u.n. special envoys roadmap to peace and the conflict torn country. has more details. russia and they are very much focused on what is said all along which is that it's cooling for a cease fire to hold to the violence in the country but is not going to back anything is seen as putting an alternate to own the syrian government to. talk about solution is seen is simply backing one side of the furnace a lot of progress meeting with his lebanese council part and he spoke about the drop in the security council does tend to buy from. the back

a bit on the six point peace plan calling for the much the same things that the arab league observers mission had been asking for the whole to the violence and the bullets and the security forces from some of these conflict areas the release of political prisoners we need to take the nuns who were deeply into serious discuss this with president assad that is why didn't the security council cannot come to some sort of consensus and put there it's just a full behind up plan but of course it is very much as we said going to come down to the wording of that plan and whether the security council will be able to bring all the times before russia has voiced support not only for the case here nuns peace plan in the country but also to the growing calls the humanitarian ceasefire within syria we saw the foreign minister meeting with the heads of the international red cross back in these times the cease fire within the country so that's absolutely essential if there is a lot of faith now that the security council itself can be full pos these barriers

that they've been meeting over things like the wording of these resolutions and katie and says nice the perhaps is a mediator between the west russia's stance we've had foreign minister level saying that if you don't stand doesn't put the ultimatum it doesn't put the pressure just on one side and say if this can now put pressure on both the opposition on assad to push through this cease fire the study there's a lot of thought that some sort of consensus can be reached. when wooding in syria resolution the u.n. security council should be wary of america's habit of using the world of bodies mandates to serve its own agenda and that's the warning from washington based activist jacob who. says we've seen in the past what the u.s. government does is it takes these what seem to be innocuous nice sounding resolutions and then drives you know a mack truck through them and says oh well this justifies military intervention

this justifies bombing attacks no fly zones and so forth i would assume that the russians are going to be very cautious about the wording of their resolution but i think we should keep in mind it no matter what they do with these these resolutions these interventions they always end up with a war situation where there is much more death and destruction is so forth if there is intervention my position is just leave this to the syrians to resolve what guides us foreign policy is getting their people into public office around the world and it's led to the disastrous consequences we see in iraq afghanistan elsewhere around the world where people despise the u.s. that's why some of us are saying it's time to dismantle this whole regime change foreign policy of interventionism in under clear and wars. a series of coordinated loss of rock several cities in iraq killing more than forty and injuring almost two hundred three car bombs exploded in the northern oil rich province of kirkuk

killing nine further two car bombs hit the predominately shia city of karbala eighty kilometers south of baghdad killing thirteen other attacks in the capital into southern towns targeted local police headquarters the latest violence comes nine years after the u.s. led invasion of iraq began and ahead of next week's arab league summit to be held in. with more on this let's not talk to michael roddy he's from the london based group democracy village well want to see instability in iraq now. oh i think what we have to remember the back is probably still under occupation. we may have seen the withdrawal of combat troops but there are still tens of thousands of western media would refer to as private contractors but we all know police are paid mercenaries hired killers and it's in their interests and it's in the interests of the elites around the world to keep this to keep this conflict going it isn't their job to support the afghan security forces you seem probably

not to be coping at the moment in light of what we've seen in the current wave of violence so the current wave of violence this this is just the modus operandi of whoever is behind this and we know that the people behind us are the people who are there and want to instigate regime change in places like libya like syria iran is obviously next on the list but in terms of iraq and afghanistan they're still under occupation there won't be any change in these countries until not only the soldiers in the army's leave but all the private contractors gone through and also the puppet governments that have currently been put in place by probably americans and the british what about the taliban there are reports that they could be behind the latest killings. well with the british government and talking to the taliban it's kind of it's all got a little bit surreal in the last couple of years that the what they want to do is they want to save face no no politician wants to walk out of a defeat so they're trying to talk to the taliban at the same trial i'm trying to

sort of negotiate with them while they're still huge atrocities going on on both sides. as i say i think the majority of the violence now is caused by probably contractors not most of them have got immunity from prosecution of various places but this is the conflict in afghanistan just like iraq it's by no means over it won't be over in through three years it'll still be dragging on for ten years unless we actually do something about it but he was saying that if the foreign interference does appear to be more of a hindrance than a help what about the iraqi people though do you think that they do do they perhaps have any optimism at all for the future could we see a democratic party merging it's all in any way. i don't think so i think we've. destroyed a country we've destroyed its culture we've also destroyed its future its children in the last nine years the u.k. in the us military have dropped over two thousand tonnes of depleted uranium on

iraq. places like saluja. cancer spreading in that region. childhood child birth effects just off the scale doctors and midwives just can't cope at the moment. i think probably what's what's really happened is in two thousand and four when they had the what they declared to be the free fire zones in fallujah that was basically they just dropped and not mean to flatten the place i think somebody told me recently that there's been more atomic weapons used in iraq in the last nine years and was used in and hiroshima so the scale of the devastation caused is is tremendous but this devastation will continue forever because the half life of depleted uranium is a nuclear weapon it's a dirty weapon business nuclear place half life is measured in millions of billions of years sorry so this isn't going to get cleaned up and this isn't going to go away this is already contaminated the ground contaminated the groundwater so for the foreseeable future the iraqi population and not going to have

a future that we can be optimistic about it all but what about the fact that baghdad is to host the arab league summit foot the first time next week isn't that symbolic doesn't that mean that the country is getting some sort of identity and playing a part in regional politics. i mean the arab league. again these terribly go thankfully the people the try to get regime change in libya sorry when they did in libya they're trying now in syria so i don't think the arab league or really the friends of the iraqi people i don't think the arab league or the friends of any arab people or iraqis or iranians or syrians there are no friends of anyone with friends like those nobody needs enemies this is all run from qatar and saudi arabia dictatorships in their own right with really oppressive regimes who would want to take advice from this kind of group. i think what's happening in iraq now is.

classed as a green place over the. crumbling message of what we've called in the society and the institutions they're not really they're not fit for purpose so holding a conference there is is just a p.r. stunt it's for the cameras for the western media to say look everything's back to normal but we obviously know nothings back to normal in iraq and nothing is back to normal in afghanistan and it'll be here if not decades before things are back to normal not ready for the london based antiwar group the moxy village thank you very much for your time it's here from thank you thank you. russia's envoy to the u.n. says that the u.s. led coalition in afghanistan shouldn't be pulling out of his job isn't even remotely complete college like in point of the fact that the world put the issue of the international assistance mandate and it's up to the un to end it after the mission is accomplished very important as the details now from new york. according to international law it is the security council that house to give approval and write a report before all the troops can withdraw from afghanistan what ambassador churkin

indicated is that the fact that there is an escalation in violence that's ongoing and terrorism continues to be us fret he said it is ill considered to establish arbitrary deadlines for withdrawing troops if the situation in afghanistan right now remains very critical and very unstable ambassador churkin said that security viable security needs to be a stablished before international forces leave one of the many concerns churkin raised is the fact that print the production and illegal sales of drugs continues in afghanistan he said the production of opiates increased by sixty percent in twenty eleven and the fact that he said that there has to be stringent measures taken to eradicate the drug fields and drug crops in afghanistan he went on to paint what we could consider a very scary picture of this circumstance in afghanistan now with many civilians

still being killed by airstrikes led by nato forces and an upsurge in violence still taking place there so the point that is being made by the russian ambassador to the united nation is that the nato forces cannot just withdraw on a specific date of a specific year if afghanistan is not stabilized. coming up in a few minutes black listed britain. stopped you can imagine it's a choice in jeopardy for my life in jeopardy here relationships in jeopardy you can pay of those anymore find out why union workers and whistle blowers in the u.k. are fighting back after being kicked out of the workplace. and we report on how russian authorities are planning a new lease of life for the two hundred fifty thousand webcams installed during the recent presidential vote. but all still to come for the first greek parliament is
