six am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story the u.n. security council voted to send observers to syria to oversee the country's fragile cease fire the first monitors will arrive sunday as reports emerge of fresh clashes russia demanded a revision of the original u.s. draft to hold all sides in the conflict accountable for abuses artie's marina porter has more. the security council is cautiously optimistic and quite proud of itself that it's finally able to speak with one voice or reach a consensus the first resolution now unanimously adopted on syria it calls for monitors. up to thirty going to syria immediately to observe this cease fire the fragile cease fire in place there courting to question

a bastard so you want him 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 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. vitaly churkin said at this critical junction is very very important for all syrian parties including the opposition to comply with the six point peace plan that was laid out by a u.n. special envoy kofi annan on this is 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 dialogue. vaster said that moscow 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 with. russian. draft resolution has been significantly. more. it is the legacy 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 or 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 doubts the opposition will be able to do to its part of the u.n. back and square. it's a project but it does seem to hold any water parts of the country it would seem to me there is a possibility of peace to call a civil war inside syria or not should be welcomed what is the free syrian army the

syrian national council people all of. the different groups inside syria to wait on their own because the opposition is north or unified in terms of that i don't think i thought had any really option but to go along with this a lot of them have been one of those coming in from all i have to see even those who wanted to 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 what is going on really people can protect it but i think fingers crossed this couple and we could forestall what is looking like a very unpleasant civil war developing inside syria long awaited talks between six world powers and tehran iran's nuclear program have wrapped up is standoff e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton working the negotiations as constructive with the sides agreeing to meet again next month in iraq discussions resumed after

a fifteen month break with a previous round again stalemate the parties are trying to find measures to build mutual tonfa ticks over to iran's nuclear ambitions iran which insists its nuclear program is peaceful recently increased uranium enrichment despite irrational fears it could be trying to build a nuclear bomb washington described the talks as a last chance for diplomacy to work israel threatened military action iran's willingness to talk is surprising under the circumstances according to politics professor for what his idea of the university of tehran. there's a long list of things that iran is unhappy about and unhappy about the killings of five iranian nuclear scientist in the last couple of the. increased sanctions against ordinary people in iran sanctioning. commodities mike castle being unhappy about sanctioning the central bank which is basically iranian central bank which is basically a 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 the key thing the same demands that are. not really acceptable to the iranian side asking iran through with. its nuclear program and any right to ask them why do you want us to do that they say that we think you are making nuclear bomb and at the same time we hear from the intelligence agencies of these country is united states even israel that iran is not personal nuclear and so there's a lot of contradictory signals that are coming from the other side and that is making the situation somewhat confusing. stay with us here on araa he's still to come age old solutions to the current debt crisis u.k.'s treasury plans to issue a neverending vaughn's blast scene after the first world war saddle in generations to come with billions of pounds to repay lots of. orthodox
