week's top stories in today's news from our teeth observers are set for syria as the u.n. issues its first resolution on the conflict designed to prop up the shaky cease fire. egypt's forty's the list of presidential candidates for school mubarak son kicks of booted out of the race. it's the final push for france's top job voters next to the extremes of concerns of immigration identity and imposing the e.u. . and leaders of both of those christians around the world that operate the resurrection of christ. and easter ceremonies held in moscow's main cathedral.

this is artie's news if you're welcome. but first after more than a year of fighting in syria the un's most powerful body as a should in its first resolution on the conflict a small team of unarmed military observers has been deployed to oversee the front shall cease fire came into force on thursday. has more from new york. according 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 the sticking point on friday and by 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 are 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 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 with 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. balanced approach that the security council was able to reach a consensus on saturday with. russia even member and other security council

members a draft resolution has been significantly. more balanced and solution to present realities more. of syria's government it will be an. 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 see. whether humanitarian officials are being granted access throughout syria if the syrian authorities and the syrian opposition is complying with what the security council's this monitoring mission will eventually grow to a team of two hundred fifty people we should note though that it does say in this resolution that has some there is a vague reference that if syria does not comply with what this acuity council is

asking further measures can be taken but 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. we present ourselves with forms apparently on the way of parliamentary elections due in may syrians who the u.n. ceasefire hope they can change reality and some sort of the reports. damascus greeted the ceasefire with a sunny day and high spirits residents took to parks rather than streets and sprinklers not bullets all that needed dodging yeah this picture perfect morning was laden with fear and uncertainty as them a scenes anxiously awaited news from the north africa that my biggest wish now is for the ceasefire tools rule long when you can walk the streets without fear include least one day without hearing that somebody was killed. that wasn't the

case in the rest of the country on thursday or c.d.'s were rocked by three blasts that killed two and injured twenty five hearts though that is in a country that has grown accustomed to a daily death toll exceeding one hundred even that could be seen as a step forward one hundred of them everyone here regardless of religion or politics wants one thing for syria. and the capital's old bazaar business is slow many locals are pressed for money and tourists if you're a part of it when the centuries trade was syria's best antidote to sectarian or religious conflict but it's politics that draw a wedge between syria and communities then you leave to get you know here in syria . everyone in the mosque and. in. homes and you know we live with. it was the damn

acing stories that once held syria to ward off european crusaders some fear that syria may become the target of yet another more and day western conquests it will again seek to impose its values this time it twenty first century weapons. legend of the infallible dentist in florence is in part responsible for syrians themselves as a nation of great warriors who are valuable or above everything else that is revolutionary violence train the country more and more syrians are far more eager to after five than the other part of their cultural heritage that i was a peace loving peace cherish a nation. it is true that syria doesn't have a long record of political pluralism the main rallying cry of the opposition there are efforts to change that nine political parties for a graduate student in recent months some of them openly seeking to challenge the dominance of the ba'ath party. we used to have three taboos religion sex and

politics at least we can talk about politics now that there is a member of the party of supporters it can boast only fourteen hundred people so far there are still figuring out the details of their political agenda but the first says he's pretty certain of the means it will not use to achieve it. but it's true that the regime has a long way to go to make our political system more inclusive but we also have to agree that using any kind of violence and politics is unacceptable politics is about compromising with your rivals and you can't do that while shooting many here is saying that if there is any force that can unite syrians these days is the opposition the opposition to war it's one of our it's the damascus syria. well the short program the whistleblower turns inquisitor that's two days from

their version with the leaks to the sun. to show right here on the tape we look ahead. so the game changer for spain's leading football clubs which is. suffering from a store in the economy. turner of the twenty three candidates who want to run for egypt's presidency are being banned from taking part in next month's election as a business strategy and currency. former regime officials from entering the race which is not a rubber stamp and it really is. candidates have forty eight hours to heal and supporters demonstrations are expected in a couple among those abroad are former spy chief. the two. candidates. and the islamists want control i believe this law is unconstitutional because the supreme constitutional law. and

court has to review any legislation that affects the presidential elections the muslim brotherhood were creeping towards grasping all the power in egypt the first they had the to overwhelm the civil societies the unions then the second phase of this strategic plan is to overwhelm them and control the lead to stick with r.t. so they are accelerating their pace in controlling the power in egypt by controlling those dimensions or key players in the political scene in egypt. online we want to know you think benefits from egypt running ten candidates and it's become the president so far to dot com thirty six percent of you say it's

the ruling military council so i think you have an inference that is that it's getting over a quarter i don't think anyone would like it just a few percent survive the pro-democracy activists and skew this trend vantage that's one page study or voice. of that take a look at some of the other stories we've got not. even cutting off the rebels cash intended for those who fought against gadhafi suspended for the expenses payouts to the dead from the details of accounting dot com. and from the breaker to make a few days voters way up an election list would be fifteen hundred. criminals or reporters are going to call them on our you tube channel. but wait is almost over ricki lake so with sons comes to our team early next week if you show will feature injuries and powerful people from around the world as our

correspondent laura smith explains. the first episode of the show will be broadcast on shoes day april seventeenth so that's this cheese day coming and we i'm judy and together really hoping this is going to be an explosive new show i can't tell you the name of the first guest you'll have to chew main yourselves to find that out on shoes day but i can tell you that they are all opinion formers some of them this isn't and some of them have never been interviewed before on english language television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to julian in the wake of the interview highly charismatic so you can find out what that's all about i met with him recently and i talked all about the show how he chose his guests why he decided to do it and of course he spent a lot of time sitting on the other side of the interview his desk and he told me a bit about his disenchantment really with the mainstream media and why he chose to broadcast first this show the things that we're trying to report.

accurately in the mainstream press. works. for me. ground zero zero zero zero zero kurtz gently or not this week coming up for the week in which the first show is going to be broadcast is really a week around a verse three for him both personal and professional it's going to be five hundred days since the investigation into these allegations of sexual assaults by two swedish women began now we've seen that the request for his extradition go through the courts here in the u.k. talked to the supremes courts and that case finished at the beginning of february that's ten weeks ago now we still don't have a verdict we are expecting it possibly to come next week but there's still no set date that verdict to be handed down and still after five hundred days no charges have been laid against him it's also five hundred days since the wiki leaks bank

accounts were first frozen so that has made funding for wiki leaks very difficult. and threatening that we're still playing organization all together and really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived all store sold while assault was virtually living under house arrest here in britain awaiting this verdict on his extradition because two reasons first of all being on the house was for someone it's nice to have an occasional visitor and talk more about the world and given the conversations we were having an interesting one about government for a lot of people what was going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot and before and it's been receiving a very gracious and you know i found that i wasn't getting much from working. pretty quickly. it was. sort of the prince of principles and so people don't take context so i want to have

a different sort of approach where people. why that approach has been difficult in some ways i think it's also it's excitement but the brain sort of a river side it's all very interesting and important but i'm not normal because we're not dealing with getting to know the ring with someone who was under house arrest. and gone for political problems. so you can see the full version of that interview on monday the sixteenth of april and that will be followed hot on the heels by the first episode of the program on choose date the seventeenth of april we're still awaiting a verdict on g.m.'s arjun's extradition but we are quite glad that he's managed to make this program to thaw out whatever happens to him happens temp obviously his main fear has always been that he will be extradited from sweden to the u.s. . there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political back.

to the source material is what helps the journalism we. we want to present. something new. now north korea is celebrating a century since the birth of its and they took what time reading kim il sung his grandson and current for kim jong un made his first public speech hailing the country's military might and calling for even more result but he didn't mention was friday's failed long range. says it was supposed to be something like what it would fall into the sea moments after a blast of the launch of violated un resolutions and swags away from global condemnation now president suspended two hundred million dollars worth of food aid to north korea expert jim walsh says that the people want to scuttle the peace talks. it did not go off quarters in

a. where japan or south korea felt compelled to shoot it down because i think they could have been a trip wire could have caused you know the possibly best collation in. events that no one would want so you know it failed but it failed peacefully if you will the problem is as a consequence of this we're not going to it was actually talks with presidential elections in the united states very hard for us president to restart negotiations or participate in them after all were perceived as provocative acts and there is no talking which means this is dangerous. it's a battle for friends of votes as intensify as presidential rivals the cozy and francois allowed hold sunday rallies in the paris section is just a week away and with integration and i tentative taking center stage there's also it looks at russia france is witnessing a seismic shift to the right anti immigration anti euro

antiglobalization and advocates of protectionism. all in the name of the french state and national identity there is not a single french person not one european who does not know that i'm a sworn enemy of the european single currency buskers it's a radical islam as a direct consequence of mass immigration that's the left and the right imposed on us for decades it is not now. this is really on the fringes of france's national politics the rhetoric of today's far right may no longer be as far off for its citizens as it once was opinion polls suggest that presidential candidate may be independent the ultra right wing national front party is third with potentially ten million votes its biggest support base ever there is no potency or from think griffen friends. so if you don't speak french. it doesn't bother anyone

but. we don't want. to play to england so we want. you friend parineeti but don't speak together. as a native and. globalization destroy this identity enter lipin with her calls for economic patriotism prioritizing france over europe its native citizens over others of giving the french back their jobs and center right incumbent nicolas sarkozy stands accused of jumping on the far right bandwagon some say for the ballot sake but he. our integration system is getting worse and worse why because we have too many foreigners in our territory threatening to withdraw from the shank and border fee agreement by no coincidence at a time when europe is seeing an influx of refugees fleeing conflicts in north africa and the middle east this is

a phrase clift so with after seeing the israel what it will do is. sarkozy knows pretty well as that he was elected in two thousand and seven only because he was able to catch. us a nation of i know the situation is quite the same some say that what was once a protest vote is now a more permanent part of the french political spectrum from lots of there is certainly a part of the electorate who vote for the reasons of dissent but i think it must now be recognized even if it's difficult to accept the the vote for the national front is increasingly a vote of support. the increasing prominence of right wing rhetoric in france especially the lead up to the presidential elections is clear what's more difficult to decipher is whether this grows support for the right reflects the direction of the russian side of values has stated or is simply a knee jerk reaction to everything the french see wrong in their country that's are

so your r.t. paris. well turning now to some of today's world news the first time in fifteen months iran has met with major world powers over its nuclear program convened in turkey and the iran made no promises to end its nuclear program they all agreed to further discussions next month and. iran insists its project is peaceful western nations are convinced it's clear weapons. sudan has knowledge of the bombing raids on the disputed border boiled egg lake was seized a few days ago by south sudan which accuses its neighbor of carrying out cross border airstrikes of civilians fighting between the two countries as a school rated since gained independence last july. there's been a major jailbreak in northwest pakistan but the four hundred inmates escaped after is the most insurgent story the prison with guns and grenades early on sunday

of christ's death and his resurrection on the day a key moment in the service is the easter vigil where the priests walk in a circle around the church holding candles and they also change their outfits three times during the service from black which represents lent through the purple which represents the passions that christ went through and on to one which represents the resurrection itself. the holy fire has also arrived here in moscow this easter as it has done since the eleventh century when it first made that journey from the church of the holy supporta in jerusalem the story surrounding the fire is that a light shines through the roof of the church of the holy sepulcher every easter in jerusalem and somehow by ages two lights two candles one of which is brought to moscow and it's then taken around to many orthodox churches

a very special symbolic moment for the russian orthodox church easter the russian orthodox church also comes at the end of a great lead seven weeks of fasting no meat and no dairy products but at the end it is time to bring out some special foods with a special connection to easter what is cool it's a cake of the sweet and filled with raisins and the other is named after easter in russian language plus it's a sweet dessert. also designed to be a celebration after the long weeks of fasting and also that universal symbol of easter eggs many are painted and often shared with family members and all are taken to priests at easter for. with holy water they'll be shared around by orthodox probably the world over as will lisp raise in thirty thousand russian orthodox

churches and their communities around the world the traditional russian orthodox greeting will be said to christ has risen and it will be answered with another reply the traditional russian orthodox reply indeed it has risen. russia and poland have marked two years since polish president lech kaczynski died in a plane crash in the russian city of smolensk both countries help morals on teams but in six people died in the crash as a high profile political occasion travels to commemorate victims of the star and massacre of produce engines. undertaken two years of meticulous investigation the tragedy also initially blamed russian air traffic control facilities to close concluded that private planes technical problems were to blame problems too believes there are unanswered questions which russia has agreed to help investigate . the spanish top flight football is taking

a kicking as the country's debt spiral drags down its premier clubs after years of mean cash the final whistle blowing for many teams. european football is for many being born human to the beautiful game but off the field it's getting ugly top flight spanish clubs are struggling with masses of debt ninety percent of all european teams of the bankrupt are based in spain. presently the premier league clubs are either bankrupt or half bankruptcy and this is a terrible result clubs have to realize that they can only spend as much as they have invested so many. years not just the sports that much a part of the nation but as with many other aspects as mannish like to say something financial ruin me treasure of a year and euro zone the nation sports minister recently said spanish clubs may be

offered help in the form of debt restructuring or refereeing the crisis german politicians appear to have kicked that idea into touch with one n.d.p. calling the move a threat to competition and asking german clubs to speak out i find it unthinkable we are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to help them recover from the situation and clubs are trying to avoid paying their debts he cannot go on like this. the repos who has since been dropped but the problem persists as spanish clubs owing more than seven hundred fifty million euros and unpaid taxes rayo vallecano is one such club in a ministration struggle to pay all this close wages and. i think the spanish players who are outraged when we talk about a strike it is obvious this is going through a really difficult time and inability to pay salaries is something affecting many

clubs last year prompting players to strike wages are only part of the problem is spending to net the world's greatest talent amounting to four hundred million euro and the top league and those who lead teams from the boardrooms think something drastic needs to change. now spanish football and the spanish economy need investments from abroad as not only about football but also spain as a whole off the pitch a similar scenario is being played out among competitive economy is not yielding many positive results and last summer accused football clubs of taking their eyes of many are saying the same about the nation's leaders to greece literate spain. had eyes coming up next.
