report said syria's fragile ceasefire is disrupted by further deadly clashes as the u.n. the hammers out the small print of a resolution on a new observer mission. back around the table after more than a year of silence and suspicion the world powers meet with iran to discuss its nuclear program which tehran insists is peaceful. and the people of new delhi are said to vote in breach no light shows but it could end up being a choice between alleged murder and fraud service for many candidates marred by a criminal process.

brushing our teeth from moscow or at seven pm it's a lot and i am in new york where the u.n. is about to vote on a resolution allowing monitors to oversee syria's fragile cease fire this amid reports of fresh shellings and more killings in the country despite a fragile truce for an eye is following the events in new york and now joins us live brianna the new resolution on syria is expected to be agreed but why has there been a delay. well simply put a niece of russia felt that the first u.s. drafted resolution made too many demands of the syrian government and did not explicitly made any demands of the opposition the current u.s. drafted resolution calls on all parties in syria including the opposition to immediately seize all our violence in all its forms it also calls for the initial

deployment of up to thirty unarmed un observers to syria to monitor the fragile cease fire that just was implemented a few days ago one thing that was laid out by a city in a six point peace plan put out by joint envoy kofi are not and also it calls on damascus to ensure full impended access to the u.n. monitors that if this resolution is approved will be going to syria in mediately it condemns the syrian authority this resolution for human rights violations in the use of widespread force against civilians and also indicates that those responsible should be held accountable though this resolution does and with a somewhat ambiguous saying that the security council can take additional measures measures or actions if syria does not comply with the resolution all of this is

happening in the meantime u.s. president barack obama increase american aid though to this syrian opposition including. communication equipment and medical supplies and non lethal aid washington has refused to describe what that non lethal aid entails but reportedly it encompasses bulletproof vests and night goggles and radios so of course this has led some critics to say that there is a truce a fragile constraint now taking place in syria and the international community is trying to bring peace. to syria the west is somewhat undermining this peace plan by supporting and the opposition continuing to support the opposition rather than encouraging just straight dialogue with charlotte sides government so at this point we have a resolution on the table in the next few hours we will expect that we are expected

to see if it will be adopted voted upon how the international community will move forward but if this resolution is agreed upon to be the first time the security council has reached a consensus on syria of course we will look keep our viewers updated in the hours ahead and it will we're sure there's lots of work going on behind closed doors after u.n. argues were important i have reporting from new york thanks for. now with the third day of the cease fire in syria being put to the test anti-government rallies have resumed across the country and there it seems like some avoid to reports from damascus there's growing concern they're being hijacked by rebels it was good friday for syrian orthodox christians but it didn't bode well with the country at large free people lost their lives in demonstrations nationwide threatening the fragile cease fire even reached the end of its second day of the opposition groups not messing about still procreating for the clashes in syria and actually put into

effect what kofi annan peace plan wants which is to sit down on the groceries and table with the government as with all their uprising is in the arab spring the largest of clashes in syria have opened so you can place after friday prayers it with some believe has been and we need. political aims but in the run up to god day this week the opposition tried to knead tactic. comfortably removed from the repercussions of their statements exults revolutionaries made that point the demonstrations and the ceasefire could include exist only moments the troops are withdrawn from the cities those people in the government in the regime know very well that hundreds of thousands. of freedom seeking crowd have become a glorified image of the arab spring but in reality demonstrations often resulted in crime and violence in egypt journalists were sexually harassed as protesters

demanded more rights in libya a soldier was lynched right between calls for elections period there are fears that rallies may be deliberately used to derail the peace process i am very concerned that in case of sort of large gatherings of people the possibility of provocations will be greatly enhanced so instead of instead of talking about. demonstrations opposition leaders must finally formulate their attitude towards political dialogue demonstrations here are not banned but those who hit the streets without permission from the interior ministry swiftly arrested and while this official admits some heavy handedness on the part of the government he says it's borne out of the security challenges serious crimes are facing when one of the challenges the government is facing is distinguishing between democratic protesters and armed groups we're not afraid of the peaceful opposition is created by the government

supporters who are trying to prevent these armed groups using these demonstrations for provocations killing civilians and leaving the killings on the government especially when the students are institutions but it doesn't mean that political discourse is stifled today kids syrians have gathered in the countries many who have cafes were no topic is now off limits of them from going over to france italy working. so you talk about. in this group of high school friends all have studied or traveled abroad and while they're perfectly familiar with the notion of western leaders says they say what's being imposed in syria now has nothing to do with freedom and what's the meaning of words the phrase what is it for you you know i was in the. woods used to go wherever you. saw anybody else going. down even from the stars to the labor markets

everybody is there for them and that's what continues driving syrians apart some of fighting for freedom others are fearing for their lives the right to demonstrate is an undeniable human right but is it equal to the rights of well meaning syrians do recognize that their country's political system needs to be changed but they see first things first and if opposition is genuinely interested in stopping the bloodshed for the time being it may consider responding to the government fees wire with their own seize down my initiative. artsy damascus syria. six major world powers and iran are meeting in turkey to find ways to remove suspicion that iran's nuclear program has a military dimension discussions have resumed after a fifteen month break with russia and the e.u. howling them as positive and constructive but let's discuss this with politics professor for what is our view is our view from the university of tehran now on the

line with us live thanks for being with us i'd like to begin with brock obama earlier he called these talks the last chance for diplomacy can we expect any real breakthroughs. thank you for having me from the return to be here from washington shouldn't be very optimistic given the fact that barack obama has repeatedly threatened to attack iran. given the fact that. bibi netanyahu asks him to do on iran. doesn't make the situation very promising but given the fact that five plus one includes countries like russia and china i think he's going to try to basically prevent another major war in the middle east given that fact we can sort of expect more of the same basically.

coming in iran's nuclear program increasing the pressure increasing the sanctions from the governments and countries like russia and china trying to prevent another war in this region basically besides the rhetoric that you were talking about coming out of washington and a lot of western countries it has been reported that the iranian delegation found the western stance disappointing and discouraging can we delve into that what exactly they are happy about it's not just rhetoric obviously. sure the. killings of five iranian nuclear scientists in the last couple of years. against ordinary people in iran sanctioning. commodities like gasoline and i'm happy about sanctioning the central bank which is basically iranian central bank which is basically

a country trades with international. companies. there's a long list of things that iran is unhappy about and in fact it's somewhat surprising that iranian government officials go to these meetings and basically listen to the other side which is more or less repeating the same demands that are. not really acceptable to the iranian side asking iran to. its nuclear program and when iran asked them why do you want us to do that they say that we think you are making a nuclear bomb and at the same time we hear from the intelligence agencies of these countries united states even israel that iran is not personally a nuclear weapon so there is a lot of. contradictory signals coming from the side and. that is that is making the situation somewhat confusing i know the situation is

complicated but really it seems quite simple there hasn't been any solid proof you touched on this that iran is indeed pursuing nuclear weapons so what makes negotiating or compromising so difficult why are we seeing such tension when nothing has been proved. the logical process should be that the united states make a claim about iran's nuclear program they should provide evidence for that claim. that the situation that we have is that they don't provide any evidence when they're asked why don't you provide evidence they say this is sacred we cannot give it out and then they said in two thousand and seven in two thousand and ten. months ago seventeen intelligence community is that makes us says intelligence community basically came out issued in a statement and said iran start pursuing nuclear program in two thousand and three

and they have not started that this is the claim that they have from the beginning says that you never had a nuclear program nuclear weapons program and in the latest speech that president obama made. a conference american israel public affairs committee conference he basically said the same thing that iran does not have a nuclear program. you can be a weapons program and we haven't found anything basically that says that iran is making a nuclear bomb and he even said that israelis believe the same thing so one should ask president obama if that's the conclusion of your intelligence community why are you threatening attack iran militarily and the result of that as you know is increase in oil prices and the world economy really cannot afford that and politics professor thought from the university of tehran thank you very much for your analysis this evening. well coming up on our age old

he's up for reelection this year and says he wants nothing more than to serve his community for being in politics as long social work i'm in it to serve the public because it gives me satisfaction i know that. but alongside these lofty aspirations are some murky allegations denise has been charged with murder intimidation assaulting a public servant and armed rioting he says he's not guilty of the charges but he's not the only candidate in this year's municipal elections facing serious allegations according to the association for democratic reform about fifteen to twenty percent of candidates from both major political parties have a criminal background many actually have pending cases involving serious allegations like murder kidnapping extortion and robbery and actually in a recent local election turned down a candidate who actually campaigning from an shale. of the one hundred thirty nine

candidates in delhi's municipal election the niece has the second highest number of charges pending against him but he says the allegations are bogus and that on a general level the problem in india isn't as serious as it sounds. there's no truth and it's a conspiracy i was in the park fighting for the people who want to charge me with false accusations how can anyone called a criminal case. judge the show car is working to make indian political candidates backgrounds more transparent to voters he says money often means power regardless of how it's obtained with. one of the money and a lot of the muscle. money and muscle both. make money and. while the indian parliament

could pass a law to make it illegal for criminals to run for office choke our doubts it will happen since almost a quarter of the lawmakers themselves have troubled past so in a country known for corruption and bribery some voters say they simply want to elect someone who they think can get the job done we should not bother so much with the history of the politicians standing for elections whether he's been a criminal in the past or not only we need to see is whether he brings development but in a country where so much development is needed others feel that process is being undermined by shady allegations were candidates backgrounds are now very much in the foreground preassure either r t new delhi india. tens of thousands have gathered in a football stadium in pyongyang show their support for north korea's ruling family

a period this is a good time to tax by for these to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy it if it's a good time to issue them when it's not a good time to boil there would be buyers of the taxpayers themselves shouldering the government's vast one trillion pound debt pile by lending it money also on off a bonds that will mature after one hundred years these workers if the government taking out a very generous mortgage benefiting from its current rock bottom interest rates for another century bad news for whoever's lending the money the only way you could actually make money here is if there was no inflation between now and the year twenty one twelve a very optimistic outlook take the last hundred years for example if i did bested one hundred pounds back in one nine hundred twelve at a rate of three point four percent say then this year it would have turned into almost three thousand pounds sounds ok in itself but it's nothing compared to what i would have got just throwing flay said which would have seen one hundred pounds

pollution into almost nine thousand so who would fall for such a cheap trick well no one of course but that's where the government gets its own investment rules would force pension funds to buy against their will not exactly fair play but this is a monopoly with only one winner you know this is what happens. when governments and the risks are enormous you know the risks of buying a one hundred year. guilt from the u.k. government or historical evidence given inflation happens in the past would suggest that. anything close to current yield you would lose money on the last time bridge an issue never ending loans was after world war one a massive deficit still burning a hole in the taxpayers' pocket even today and now this government's doing the same
