murder of seven people interludes by a man of all during origin for the country under the spotlight as that does highlight the dangers here widespread social exclusion of minority. this is all she's a weekly review hello and welcome to the program finds the russian president dmitri bet it was meeting with the u.s. leader i could bomb in seoul at the nuclear security summit representatives from some fifty countries have a ride in the south korean capital tried to as the risk of nuclear terrorism and for more on this we're now joined live by our correspondent in reno going to screws and so you know there really are so what's the main focus of the talks today. well of course the official outlook ahead of the meeting which just started in the south korean capital the outlook overall was rather positive we do know that the

presidents are set to discuss the major key international issues and this of course is the last meeting of president that of president needs to be said for guard obama in this formers capacity as a russian president of course we know that for the last several years russia and the united states have had some major issues of course the official outlook overall seems to be rather positive they do talk about the restart of the relationship of course remember the restart button i think the new start treaty as well was signed that of course all falls in the rose category for the relationship between the two countries but only nearly all other issues especially in things which concern middle eastern conflicts particularly the situation in syria are washington and moscow seem to disagree on almost every single aspect except of course for one and that is the role in importance of. mission in syria those of course are the main

obstacles there is only the probably the key issues which are going to be discussed this is going to be an almost two hour meeting president's initiative and obama have a lot of things to discuss of course considering this issue in the middle east in that region at the moment sounds like a very busy one but how much is this summit likely to contribute to global nuclear security. well this is a meeting between the leaders of fifty three countries of course however and head of the summits with. the officials from the russian to a geisha is say that you would expect them to discuss iran's nuclear development which of course remains one of the top issues the only international agenda in the world politics today but they said that most of the talks and topics which will be discussed at this summit are going to concern the safety of nuclear facilities the development of those facilities as well and prevention most importantly it seems

for a lot of countries of nuclear terrorism those are the key agendas that we know for sure are going to be at the top of the discussions of course there will be a lot of sideline meetings during which some rather unexpected or unannounced things or issues broke out but of course we will keep you informed on what happens and when it happens all right looking forward to the arena thank you so much indeed . and back to the syrian crisis now as russia says coffee and peace efforts could be the last chance for the country to avoid plunging into long lasting and bloody civil war the joint u.n. arab league special envoy and the russian president have how talks in moscow to discuss ending the violence and getting both sides of the conflict to talk peace on it has been falling to me. kofi annan has. a six point plan to try and bring around peace in the country now included in this this universal ceasefire.

that humanitarian aid be allowed to. teach to get into those parts of syria that need it most also that dialogue take place between the sides in the whole going crisis there now during that meeting to present dmitri medvedev saying just how important the anon plan could be to the future of syria. how serious this could be the last chance to avoid a protracted and bloody civil war we pretty much hope that our mission will be successful we will provide you with any assistance necessary at any level and on the way of course if russia is capable of providing the requirements support. well for his part kofi annan has said that he hopes for russia's assistance and advice and going about putting his plan into place now the assad government seem to be willing to go to the table to have talks so russia have made a point of saying that the main emphasis should be on getting the opposition to get

to the table before going on saying peace was impossible in syria as long as storing weapons were making their way and help was making its way towards the rebels we heard from the united nations in the last week saying that they supported kofi annan proposals really a landmark when it comes to syria being discussed in the u.n. that everybody was singing from the same song sheet however we're still hearing from countries like the u.s. they say that they want to see regime change in syria that they want a size to be to be forced out and also see fresh sanctions imposed by the e.u. on syria in the last week as well so next time when it comes to the response and. the key to being signed. if you will by the international community know is also reports that the rebels have been receiving not just support in terms of words from foreign countries but actually be receiving. and training on the ground russia

has warned against taking one side is that the syria crisis is saying that both sides have to be looked at also warning against the derailing of the peace plan and middle east global carsharing langton things the west has no firm ideas for pushing seaward back on track while koffi annan six point plan could at least have peaceful solution but a lot of the struggle to become a protracted one for syria to take such a particular path is the fact that there's no coherent opposition leadership has emerged and aside from the fact that our politicians political division there isn't one political authority that has control over. the r. and groups where the. f.s.a. the free syrian army or other groups on the ground they haven't been able to expand their support base within their country and they haven't been able to unify politically and that's kind of what explains this inability to. sort of reaction

the west doesn't have any plan in syria it's been very good but it doesn't really have a clear plan of action and you saw the sanctions by you i mean them really it's a joke it's it's sort of when you don't have any other initiative or any other pressure to apply this kind of sanctions on the president's wife and his mother so all of that really is the lack of ideas in the western about what to do in syria and i think where it's significant is russia seizing the initiative and putting on a certain past where. and with little light of the end of the tunnel in syria the trick worry now is that it could plunge into an all out civil war and deep sixed aaron splinters in the country and it's a prospect that's already having chilling consequences beyond syria's borders as on a point to explain. it's an air of c.g. on the mediterranean with attention for everything green lebanese tripoli looks

a lot like its libyan namesake and increasingly it's being drawn into the revolutionary violence it's home to sizeable alawite and sunni communities and with the syrian border just half an hour drive away tensions are already boiling over the road separating the alawite and sunni communities here in tripoli is up to the serious street and attitudes to what's happening there divides lebanese more than anything else this country stands to lose the most from the disintegration of its neighbor we had another pillar of that came just a few weeks ago when one night bullets started to flow across the street the clashes clean bill lives of two people and pushed the rest deeper into their ideological trenches residents of these alawite sarber raised money to put out this impromptu memorial to their leader and the countries they consider their protectors . thank you russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider

their enemy america's like a euphemism for american interests they don't kill a bit more human rights of freedom. serious ruling baath party has its regional office here its chief says meeting bashar al assad in person was the most memorable event of his life while the prospect of a un sanctioned foreign intervention in syria is now minimal he says behind the scenes syria still remains a front here for regional powers syria's from you about half an hour and the. everything in our. the weapons going from here went on to syria with going from lebanon for syria. or from jordan from there from. across the street in a hospital run by a sunni charity attitudes are strikingly different most of the patients here are

young men from the homs province and some like mohammad don't hide their affiliation of a different syrian army he staked on who is responsible for the bloodshed is not hard to guess. i have a warning for the russian people if they don't change their stand will cut all ties with them once the revolution reaches its tree you still have time to make the right choice but. the hospitals administrator shows us some of the about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime and mounted crimes against humanity but when i ask him whether the revolution is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian we have many destruction we have more than i can no more than eleven thousand as we hear you.

i think the old bird evolution has to pay some from. something. changing to better life to keep the two warring communities apart the lebanese government has dispatched an army contingent to the cd in all its resemblance of the libyan capital lebanese tripoli is still trying hard to avoid the libyan scenario it's not going to see tripoli lebanon. protests have continued in egypt on sunday. portside football is advanced up here over two years suspensions slapped on the club violence a day earlier so one teenager shot dead and sixty eight others injured as the military clashed with angry crowds the decision to suspend the club followed the last stadium disaster in egypt's history when seventy four people were killed in writing last month a number of police officers have been charged with

a trash. bin laden racks. and middle eastern history professor lawrence davidson says there will be no clear end of the violence because no one taking charge of the situation in. egypt has no standing law and order actually. that is state things are such. the government is not going control bihari is. not going to come out of its barracks. controlled to. very very large and so the populace is essentially on its own that means that unpopular decisions are made you're going to get this sort of spontaneous kind of how curse them anger and there is no capacity to control it nor is there any capacity to actually prevent the reasons for going there is no central

control in egypt now the fragile process of creating egypt's new constitution is already showing secret signs of discord with lawmakers storming out of a key parliamentary vote over all right it's a crushing panel will press on regardless later this week it was the liberal m.p. say the group's dominated by islamists oxys policy of reports. of the one hundred members fifty are parliamentarians and author of the thirty seven come from islamic parties are the remaining fifty who are public figures here to be islamised have a comfortable majority there is a small minority of christians of women and of activists who participated in the revolutionary movement that ousted the former egyptian president hosni mubarak last year but as i say it's a minority and so what we're hearing from these liberal lawmakers is that you cannot have a permanent constitution that is drafted by only one stick to of the population

a sector one a majority in only one election at the same time we do know that the panel will have six months to write this new constitution it will replace the nine hundred seventy one constitution that was abolished when mubarak was ousted and once the constitution is written it will be put to a vote in a national referendum and it will need to determine the balance of power between a previously all powerful president and parliament at the same time it will need to map out the future identity of egypt in terms of the role of religion and minority rights now earlier this month the lower house of parliament unanimously adopted a text that called it is rolled public enemy number one of egypt and also called for the expulsion of the israeli ambassador to the stopping of all egyptian oil and gas exports to israel and also for review of all previous agreements between cairo

in television so it is well to is increasingly alarmed over the growing stronghold in the government and this is an alarm that has been expressed elsewhere in the region so the question that people really are asking is what kind of egypt is replacing that of hosni mubarak. and coming up here and i'll see later this hour britain's petrol prices are hitting new highs but the government still running out of taxes on fuel leading motorists and businesses humane and broke on that interest him. the flash of us bracing for russia's election calories weeks after keeping a fair eye on the presidential pork all of that how they possibly webcam that work it out in the shutters of a new lease of life. bahrain has been caught up in fresh violence this week as anti regime rallies erupted into fierce clashes with security forces throughout the country the opposition claims two people have been killed and then rats rubber

no to you case coalition government apparently as it sticks to another rise in the tax on fuel to take effect in august small business owners are feeling the pinch fuel over the last few years has really really crippled and crunched on our bottom line but according to the fair fuel campaign cutting the tax on fuel by just four cents would get the economy motoring and could put one hundred seventy five thousand people back in work the creation of the jobs would take people off the dole off important benefits and these jobs would be creating more tax going out spending more money etc but they seem to be ignoring this and concentrating on things like fifty p. top rate of income tax for the rich people meanwhile small business is found sound was chapman run a company which sells an install spence's to keep your pet in your garden it employs seven people full time and runs four vans in which engineers deliver fit

those videos went viral from cultural dancing in chechnya some might impressive more accounts five hundred years worth of life video recorded on one single day was part of electing the next leader of russia but cameras were installed at all polling stations to mourn and tour any possible fraud but the relatively few violations were overshadowed by the entertainment provided some have already dubbed the election and most expensive light show in russia's history the. most advanced software to the most remote regions of russia now we can do video conferences callers can be lectured by the best professors for russia and abroad. that's just one of many ideas about how to use the two hundred fifty thousand cameras and what russians may still be undecided who they want to keep an eye on they definitely

want to control not entertain the all seeing eye of the outcome will make things harder to hide under the carpet and russia's police stations are so where critics of argued for awhile need to come under greater scrutiny but equally after several people died chris and kate probably received while in preliminary. i suggest we should move cameras from polling to police stations it would not violate the rights of those detained as their faces would be hard to read but it will save the detainees themselves from police abuse. meanwhile parents want to protect the children from another type of abuse corruption in schools with the annual nationwide state exams to take place in june they are logging for classrooms to be equipped with c.c.t.v. . it's crucial for us that all children during all types of exams on equal terms that will do their tests without help. there had been numerous complaints in the
