attendance. two am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on our team our top story the u.n. security council's voted to send observers to syria to oversee the country's fragile cease fire but first monitors were arrive sunday as reports emerge or fresh clashes russia demanded a revision of the original u.s. draft to hold all sides in the conflict accountable for any uses or she's really important has the right. 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 calls for monitors. to team of thirty go into syria immediately to observe this cease fire the fragile cease fire in place they're going to russian ambassador to

the u.n. batali churkin one russian officer will be part of the group heading to syria the resolution that was adopted also calls on all the parties in in syria including the opposition to immediately seize all of our 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 the russian ambassador to the un vitaly churkin said at this critical junction it 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. from the very beginning has been supportive of mr anon peace plan and is only he said through an objective balanced approach that the security council was able to reach a consensus on saturday but the. draft resolution has been significantly. instance who sees you. let us use 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 the house and there is a vague reference that if syria does not comply with what mr curity council is asking 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 in the syrian government do comply with what's being asked and peace is finally established in syria political analyst chris bambery from the international socialist group in britain doubts the opposition will be able to stick to its part of you when you support. 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 to pursue or civil war inside syria and actually be welcomed

what is the free syrian army the syrian national council capable of getting the same of the different groups inside syria to weigh down their own because the opposition is north or unified body in terms of that i don't think assad had any option but to go along with this the last one has been one of those coming in from oil i have to see those who monitor this even two hundred fifty monitors there is a big country they are covering a huge space it will be very difficult for these monitors that actually assess what is going on keep a check on it but i think fingers crossed this could come off and we could it could forestall is looking like a very unpleasant civil war developing inside inside syria. while the way the talks between six world powers and tehran on iran's nuclear program have wrapped up in istanbul and even foreign policy chief catherine ashton welcomed the negotiations as constructive with sides agreeing to meet again next month in iraq discussions

have resumed after a fifteen month break with previous round ending in a stalemate parties are trying to find measures to build mutual confidence over tehran's nuclear ambitions iran which insists its nuclear program is purely peaceful has recently increased uranium enrichment despite international fears it could be trying to make a nuclear weapon washington's describe the talks as the last chance for diplomacy to work in israel is threatening military action iran's willingness to talk is surprising under the circumstances according to poet politics professor for why these id from the university of tehran. there's a long list of things that unhappy about that i'm happy about killing five iranian nuclear scientists in the last couple of. increased sanctions against ordinary people in iran sanctioning. commodities like gas and being unhappy about sanctioning the central bank which is basically the iranian bank which is

basically a it kind of the international companies in fact it's somewhat surprising that iranian government is shows go through these and then basically. it's more or less repeating the same demands that. not to be acceptable to the iranian asking you don't think it's its nuclear program and then you got to ask them why do you want to do that they say that they think you are making nuclear bomb and at the same time we hear from the intelligence agencies of these countries united states even israel that iran is not bursting a nuclear weapon so there's a lot of contradictory signals coming from the other side and that is making the situation somewhat confusing. stay with us here on r.t. still to come age old solutions to the current debt crisis u.k.'s treasury plans to issue a neverending vonne this scene after the first world war saddling generations to

be around to see it paid off britain is still repaying money owed over the cost of the first world war and critics of the latest plan say that it dumps debt on future generations saddling them with an unmanageable burden our kids ivor bennett reports from london. strapped for cash and deep in debt the u.k. government has a plan but buyers beware all's not as it seems chancellor george osborne wants to bring back never ending loans dumping the government's crippling debts on to future generations it will still be all rowing and 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 every state here elements of it to me this is a good time for the u.k. tax by police to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy it if it's a good time to issue them then it's not a good time to buy the would be buyers of the tax payers themselves shouldering the government's past one trillion pound debt pile by lending it money also on off the

bonds that will make sure 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 iterates of three point four percent say and 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 from inflation which would have seen one hundred pounds ballooned into 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 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 in markets when governments and 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 prove you would lose money on the last time britain issued neverending loans was off to world war one a massive deficit still burning a hole in the taxpayers' pockets even today and now this government's doing the same offloading its own mountain of debt to be someone else's problem i've been it r t london. internet and smartphones mean we're forever texting tweeting upgrading and downloading but does run us increasingly high tech mean that we're in danger of becoming more lowbrow are things resident in new york investigates which side of

the net is winning the race. in this information sharing digital age is it possible we're dumbing down and not intellectually advancing our society this week let's talk about that do you think it's making society smarter or dumber and dumber why is that because people use more stuff to do stupid things smarter. information sharing information immediately which i think is really important but there's a lot of misinformation being shared and people see it on the internet they think it must be true oh i hope. we all retired teachers so we used to have children. i mean pupils at school and sometimes they only copied on internet the subject they had to to do for law and and sometimes they copy stuff

it's just not true because the internet is and always right right right we don't look for it and the larry's sort of books i think i guess there is some publishers are considering making books digitally that have pictures and animations instead of just words now do you think that that's going to have an effect if it's a. full rich or is worth reading you don't need all the. right so why are they doing there because people don't want to read. do you think that's a product of the information and. i think every generation story says they're always been people who didn't like to read. can make you smarter or dumber it depends kawi group you take it what do you think the youth of today is doing with it. i think it can mean years in use it as a game to play and they're really can had to use the old is
