from on our website our team and there will be showing you more of that later you can see a prime minister and president of russia there as well there there in christ the savior cathedral from night much more coverage of that to come in the next thirty minutes. are you watching our see live from moscow this very early easter sunday morning as it is here now just after midnight when it was kevin zero in our top story the u.n. security council voted unanimously on a resolution to send a team of observers to syria the first monitors will arrive in the country on sunday to help oversee the country's fragile cease fire this amid reports of fresh shelling and more bloodshed despite the troops out his major port ny has been following the latest events for you in new york. security council is cautiously optimistic and quite proud of itself that it's finally able to speak with one voice

reach a consensus the first resolution now unanimously adopted on syria it calls for monitors on our monitors up to a team of thirty going to syria immediately to observe this cease fire the fragile cease fire in place they're working to russian ambassador to the u.n. to tell you one russian officer will be part of the group heading to syria the resolution that was adopted also calls on all parties in in syria including the opposition to immediately seize all armed violence in all its forms this is what was a sticking point on friday and why the security council was wasn't able to vote on a resolution friday because according to russia's position the u.s. first drafted resolution made many demands of the syrian government and no explicit demands of the syrian opposition or russian ambassador to the un vitaly churkin said at this critical junction is very very important for all syrian parties

including our opposition to comply with the six point peace plan that was laid out by a u.n. special envoy kofi annan on this of course also calls for an immediate cease fire and for an inclusive political process in syria in which the opposition groups and the syrian government engage in a dialogue the russian ambassador said that moscow from the very beginning has been supportive of mr a knowledge of peace plan it is only he said through an objective balanced approach that the security council was able to reach a consensus on saturday with. russian. draft resolution has been significant. instances. interested in engine. of syria's government. observer mission

according to this resolution the un secretary-general ban ki moon will have to report back to the security council on april nineteenth regarding how the resolution is being implemented whether the observers are being granted access throughout syria whether humanitarian officials are being granted access throughout syria if the syrian authorities and the syrian opposition is complying with what the security council is this monitoring mission will eventually grow to a team of two hundred fifty people we should know though that it does say in this resolution that has some there is a vague reference that if syria does not comply with what mr curity council is asking for further measures can be taken what those further measures are is not clear yet i think at this point all security council members are hoping that the armed opposition group and the syrian government do comply with what's being asked and peace is finally established in syria. a correspondent at the u.n.

in new york will political analyst chris bambery that's the opposition would be able to stick to its part of the u.n. peace plan. it's a fragile cease fire but it does seem to hold a large parts of the country and it would seem to me there is a possibility of peace process thought civil war inside. naturally welcome what is the free syrian army the syrian national council all of getting the same of the different groups inside syria the way you go in there on this because the opposition is north are you have quite broadly in terms of that i don't think assad had any option but to go along with this the loss would have been one of those coming in from all i have to see even the monitors even two hundred fifty monitors there is a big country they are covering a huge space it would be very difficult for these monitors that that's what is going on protecting it but i think fingers crossed this could come or we could call it working like a very unpleasant civil war developing inside inside syria. talks

between six major world powers in iran have wrapped up in turkey have been held as constructive by the eve foreign policy chief who said the next round snow set to take place on may the twenty third in baghdad the polish are trying to find ways to remove suspicion that iran's nuclear program is called a military dimension to it discussions resumed again after a fifteen month break with the previous round ending in stalemate ramish insists is nuclear program is purely peaceful as recently increased in richmond a big claims it could be seeking a nuclear weapon washington has described these talks as the last chance for diplomacy to work with israel threatening military action tran's willingness to talk is surprising under the circumstances says politics professor. there's a long list of things that iran is unhappy about and unhappy about killing five iranian nuclear scientist in the last couple of the happy about the increased

sanctions against ordinary people in iran sanctioning. commodities like gasoline i'm happy about sanctioning the central bank which is basically iranian central bank which is basically the very country trades with international companies 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 you know it's its nuclear program and iran ask 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 personal and so there's a lot of contradictory signals that are coming from the other side and that is

of how it's obtained with. one. money and the power of the muscle throwing money and both. are also. money through. anger. 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 trouble pasts 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 politician standing up for elections whether he's been a criminal in the past or nerves all we need to see is whether he brings developments. but in a country where so much development is needed others feel that process is being

growing and the treasury is now looking at drastic measures to try to tackle it head suggest a never ending loans should make a reappearance of despite the fact the previous ones issued to cover the cost of the first world war are still being slowly repaid today and the new loans are going to mean future generations will inherit nothing but debts as are his i have a bennett. strapped for cash and deep in debt the u.k. government has a plan that crosby where all's not as it seems chancellor george osborne wants to bring back never ending loans dumping the government's crippling debt on to future generations it'll still be boring only this is money george and friends won't have to pay back sounds too good to be true that's because it is i think at this stage there are elements of activity this is a good time for the u.k. tax bite for these to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy because it is a good time to issue them when it's not a good time to buy it and it would be buyers of the taxpayers themselves

shouldering the government's basket 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 twelfth 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 been to almost three thousand pounds sounds ok in itself but it's nothing compared to what i would have got just from inflation which would have seen one hundred pounds balloon until almost nine thousand so you would fall for such a cheap trick well no one of course but that's where the government gets its own

investment rules could 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 in markets when governments into the risks are enormous you know the risks of buying a one hundred year. gilt from the u.k. government on historical evidence given inflation patterns in the past would suggest that. anything close to current yield now prove you would lose money on the last time britain issued neverending loans with after world war one and massive deficits still burning a hole in the taxpayers' pockets even today and now this government's doing the same of loading its own mountain of debt to be someone else's problem either bennett r.t. london. every year thousands from mexico and latin america try to make it to the

united states to stop the flow of illegal immigration american authorities have beefed up security along the border with mexico as artie's roma glinda reports has become the final destination for scores of people. the wind blows through the rugged sonora desert in arizona helping shape its rocky valleys and spectacular peaks it's a treasure of the american southwest but this is also a frontier land where deadly conflict is underway. it's almost a mass disaster situation the disaster which doctor has faces is the growing number of unidentified bodies being found along arizona's southern desert bodies stacked high in a fight for space and perhaps even a proper burial one day becomes not so much an effort to. determine why that person died it becomes an effort to sort out who's who were

inside of the pima county cooler at the medical examiner's office which has a capacity to hold hundreds of bodies now this facility is much larger than other places around the country pacifically because of the issue of bodies being found along the border even so lack of storage is a major headache three hundred summer means we have a refrigerated truck parked out here. to help us with overflow as some arrives he expects they will need it again the department of homeland security recently boasted about the sharp drop in border patrol rest suggesting the government's crackdown has helped curb illegal immigration the migrant deaths every mean consistently high so if the border is absolutely deadly more than six thousand have died along the us mexico border since the one nine hundred ninety four according to human rights groups that's when operation gatekeeper

a program for defined international crossing with high priced benzene thousands of agents and high tech surveillance was launched. border agents call this area below us there are being a place where migrants commonly try to scale the wall to get into the u.s. for the scores who try to make a crossing here there are many others who choose a much more treacherous and sometimes deadly route into the u.s. policymakers start pushing the immigrant floats as deserts would deter migration instead it has led to what some call that trap internationally migration is. there's attempts to control migration through the same tactics militarization through building walls and we see them in various places them in india and pac and you see this in health and israel you've seen we saw you know disastrous wall attempts. in germany many remains found in the desert are merely bone fragments

making them difficult to identify or force you know there are cases remains of the missing are never found leaving hundreds perhaps thousands of families wondering what happened to their loved ones during the journey north the reality is militarizing borders does not control migration while politicians argue over who can spend the most money to fortify the border hundreds more john and jane chasing the american dream here county more in tucson arizona ramon the lindo archie. shocking and sorry story there. so one of our headlines tonight a large congregation of orthodox believers are russia's main cathedral for the easter service marking the resurrection of jesus christ is of course the most important holiday in a religious calendar it marks the end of forty days of lent it's got some coverage and other. things in front of us to save. it was there is even talk on thousands of

people there behind you in like you talk us through if you would what was happening inside. well the church of christ the savior here in moscow is really at the heart of russian orthodox services surrounding easter and those services are really designed to be both very long but also very beautiful a very ceremonial marking of the various events of christ's death and resurrection there has been all over the russian orthodox faith the the east of vigil where priests walk around the church holding candles a very iconic moment in the services and there's also been the holy fire arrive here at this church and that comes straight from the church of the holy circle in jerusalem it first made that journey in the eleventh century a very important symbolic moment there as well services here going on a week later than western christianity that's because the russian orthodox church

never moved to the gregorian calendar but stayed on the julian calendar. because earlier on during our live coverage of. president medvedev with their easter holidays many traditions in different churches of course it was celebrated last week in the west how do orthodox christians observe it. little tougher malling it's a week later it's also the end of great lengths here i mean it's the end of lent in many western churches but the lead here it's called great lands and it goes on for seven weeks actually very few of the of religious observance managed to get through lent but really strict observers of the religion do manage to get through all of those seven weeks and this is the time that they have probably been waiting for because there are a number of special foods associated with this easter celebration in the russian orthodox church one of them cool which is

a special cake with raisins in it another is called pass which means easter in russian and that's another sweet cake kind of desserts that is eaten at this time and and also there is the easter egg the universal symbol of easter and real eggs are painted and also shared around this time and all of them are blessed at this time as well with with holy water by by people who want to get them blessed and before they share the most family and friends it's a very special time the most important in the russian orthodox church calendar and all around the the thirty thousand or so orthodox churches across the world people will be greeting each other with the traditional greeting christ has risen and everyone else replying indeed he has risen tom thank you very much will stay with these pictures inside cries for sale cafe drill now for a few moments just remind you if you just joined this you watching

a live event here on our team pictures from crisis center freedom ostrow spectacular two beautiful cathedral where the easter service is taking place right now i can imagine our coverage in live coming about what's happening continues on our website right now and of society dot com and of course through me kevin in the rest of the r.t.t. me tonight a very happy easter to you if you are something for me right now. your
