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 russian ambassador. vitaly churkin said at this critical junction is very very important for all syrian parties including armed 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 with the russian master 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 but was. the number of the other security council members a draft resolution has been significantly changed it became more balanced and started to represent realities more. of syria's government it can 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 this resolution is being implemented whether the observers are being granted access through out soon. whether a 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 there are some there is

a vague reference that if syria does not comply with what mr curity council is asking further measures can be taken and 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 when they bring it turkey accused syria of conducting across the border raid this week and return a geisha if it happens again the country's having to handle a growing influx of syrian refugees what it has also become a safe haven for the rebels and served with reports. walking a fine line as tens of thousands of refugees have crossed the syrian border into turkey keeping the peace here has not been easy and now the violence is still dave are seeing gunfire reaching across the border and into a refugee camp government forces because he's fleeing members of the free syrian

army he started talking of setting up the buffer zone to ensure the security of its southern border and to protect civilians fleeing from the violence in syria has also raised serious concerns that that could undermine diplomatic efforts to end the conflict by setting the stage for a fully fledged foreign military intervention well serious questions will be raised about just why a refugee camp was located so close to a conflict area even louder voices want to know why the rebels are being allowed to use the count as a safe haven before turning back into syria to continue their fight for walking. across the border again. the army. looking for. some people come back you know this people walk with me. beside the border crossing to syria understood beside the border and of the many of the free syrian army people here there are people here and

they're operating there inside you know. the government. let him go on by the fort as well as the civilian refugee camps turkey has the military army defectors and the man considered the head of the f.s.a. in the country the camp with a state closely guarded dorothy's make it extremely hard to access information here but we managed to speak to one member of the free syrian army about what they're wanting from the turkish government. it's not just say that supposing it recently played host to the friends of syria conference when many countries including gulf states qatar and saudi arabia agree to contribute millions to funding the free syrian army is a move to some country sources undermining diplomatic efforts to put an end to the

violence in the country peacefully and these latest incidents are just the latest in a long line of setbacks. to be realized syrian refugees skeptical that a solution is close at hand thousands of people have made the journey across the border in syria. like this. some cases they just miles from their homes. on the left unable to. serve are they perhaps. the program the whistleblower turned. to face from the controversial wiki leaks founder julian assange premieres his new interview. with the head. britain. in influence. to japan which is. the true market.

ten of the twenty three candidates who want to run for egypt's presidency have been banned from taking part in next month's election thousands of islamists relevant current support of a new the former regime officials from entering the race. start by going to tree roots excluded candidates have forty eight hours to appeal and supporters demonstrations are expected in the capital. one of the two muslim brotherhood candidates. who 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 they first they had the to overwhelm the civil societies

the unions then the second phase of the strategic plan is to overwhelm and control the legislative authority 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. well online we want to know who you think benefits from egypt banning least candidates that become president so far it's r.t. dot com thirty six percent of you say it's the ruling military council benefits something field leaflets that is mistaken on proportion getting on the benefits and just a few percent think that liberal pro-democracy activists skewness to their. page that will force them out of there take a look at some other stories we've got online today really cutting off the rebels with warts cash intended for those who fought against gadhafi and suspended its

fraud exposes payouts to the dead and the details on t.v. dot com. will break the law maker new delhi's voters weigh up election lists where every fifth candidate is in the edge criminal forces out party dot com and on all you keep track. of weight is almost over wiki leaks sons comes to our t.v. early next week his new show will feature interviews with powerful people from around the world as a correspondent with experience. the first episode of the show will be broadcast on tuesday april seventeenth so that this chews day coming and we and julian together are really hoping this is going to be an exclusive new show i can't tell you the name of the first guest you'll have to chew name yourselves to find that out on tuesday 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 do you 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 as desk and he told me a bit about his disenchantment really with the mainstream media and why he chose r.t. to broadcast first this show the themes that we're trying to report. in the mainstream groups who. work. for current gently or not this week coming up for the week in which the first show is going to be broadcast is really a week of anniversaries for him both personal and professional it's going to be five hundred days since the investigation into these allegations of sexual assault

by two swedish women began now we've seen that at the request for his extradition go through the courts here in the u.k. right up to the supremes courts which in that case finished at the beginning of february that's ten weeks ago now we still don't have a 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 whistle blowing organization altogether i really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived thought of while i was virtually living under house arrest here in britain away cygnus verdicts on his extradition there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest of some of it's nice to have an occasional visitor. to worry more about the world and the

conversations we were having a point is the form of. government that's one the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of need for it and it's been on the receiving end of. this i felt i wasn't getting much work. pretty quickly. it was. sort of principles for some people for. the politics but i wanted to have a different sort of approach with the people. which has some writers i think it's also succeeded so. it's very interesting. because they're not dealing with. dealing with somebody who's under house arrest. for growth and political correctness and 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 the surge of the program on tuesday the seventeenth of april we're still awaiting the verdict on g.m.'s owners extradition but we are quite glad that he's managed to make this program before whatever happens to him happens to him obviously his main fear has always been that he will be extradited from sweden to the u.s. . there hasn't been easy here he'd be. used to get the maximum everything else. to the source. we want to present. something. north korea is celebrating a century since the birth of its eight all time leader kim il soon his grandson and

currently kim jong un made his first public speech praising the country's between light and calling for more resolve what he didn't mention it was friday's failed long range rocket mission says it was supposed to put a satellite in orbit but into the sea moments after last stop the launch of violating u.n. resolutions and sparked a wave of global condemnation because even suspended two hundred million dollars worth of food aid to north korea is expert tim bill says when young wants peace for to show weakness. it's all part of the negotiating ploy when the american. on the one. world takes ability to willing to make some concessions in the same time they have to stand up for what they regard as a sovereign right and russia and china are quite right to point out that every country has a right to launch satellites to house these peaceful and straight extraction they

did not use had like violates international norms it's not i correct thirdly it violating the we like nation faction you know that is really an american friend and right around there is a lot of tension around. and that it. come from from john young young young. desperate to get an economics back and have these sanctions. for. the battle for french votes is intensifying his presidential rivals nicolas sarkozy of france all of them on sunday rallies in paris election is just a week away and with immigration and identity taking center stage there's our city it looks at whether france is witnessing a seismic shift to the right anti immigration antihero antiglobalization and advocates of protectionism. all of the name of the french

state had national identity. there is not a single french person now one european who does not know that i am a sworn enemy of the european single currency busters it is radical islam as a direct consequence of mass immigration of the left and the right imposed on us for decades no. traditionally 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 the presidential candidate marine le pen of the ultra right wing national front party is third with potentially ten million votes its biggest support base ever there is no potency of integration friends so we don't speak french. doesn't bother anyone but. we don't want. to play klingon so we don't want. the different communities

but don't speak together throughout the night and. it's globalization destroyed inside including. enter then 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. our integration system is getting worse and worse why because we have too many foreigners in our territory threatening to withdraw from the shango border free 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 trait a literal lived so we would have to see the fees in the us.

sarkozy knows pretty well he was elected in two thousand and seven only because he was able to catch. the national front and know the situation is quite a state some say that what was once a protest vote is now a more permanent part of the french political spectrum oh boy. 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 that the vote for the national front is increasingly a vote of support. the increasing problem is the right wing rhetoric in france especially in the lead up to the presidential elections is clear but what's more difficult to decipher is whether this growing support for the right reflects the direction the facade of values has taken or is simply a kneejerk reaction to everything the french see wrong in their country just are so your are paris. well turning out some of today's world needs for the first time in

resurrection on the third day a key moment in the service is the east of 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 separate in jerusalem the story surrounding the fire is that a light shines through the roof of the church of the holy sepulcher every step in jerusalem and somehow manages to light two candles wall of which is brought to moscow and is 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 lent seven weeks of fasting no meat a no dairy products but at the end it is time to bring out some special foods with a special connection to easter what is coolidge a cake of sweet and filled with raisins another is named after easter in the russian language. it's a sweet dessert. also designed to be a celebration after the long weeks of fostering and also that universal symbol of easter eggs are painted it often shared with family members and all are taken to priests at easter. with holy water they'll be shared around by orthodox families the world over as will lisp raised in thirty thousand russian orthodox churches and their communities around the world its additional russian orthodox greeting will be

for trade prime minister david cameron to lead the charge this week joining america and building up an enjoyable civic influence and that will sit well with china and start again it now reports. selling weapons is quickly becoming what britain does best prime minister david cameron unashamedly touting the u.k.'s military hardware only he calls it flying the flag for britain it's seeking to become only the second country other than america to trade arms with japan not only big business but the chance for a crucial foothold in what's clearly a place to be business you know perfectly predictable result of the shifting of focus of american attention and the attention of much of the world to the asia pacific region as china obviously continues to be an economic powerhouse and and even india and other countries in the region for him to actually become more economically dominant i think with that comes he attended attention from the

militaries of the u.s. and the u.k. and other countries america's recently announced plans to station two thousand the remains in australia hoping to exert influence in the region china says isn't theirs to meddle in and britain could soon join them part of its defense deal with japan could see a british hunter submarine deployed in china's backyard complete with missiles and all the physical presence the british government claims is needed these geopolitics are relevant but i think that's even more reason for going out there to engage with what is one of a few key allies in the region with over thirty executives from the u.k.'s highly profitable arms industry this isn't the first time david cameron's been criticized for turning an overseas trip into a traveling sales pitch cameron was left red faced last year when on the same trip he went from praising democratic uprisings in cairo to flogging weapons in kuwait

prime minister david cameron has been forced to defend his party weapons manufacturers think it's perfectly responsible and respectable but this is a region that's highly sensitive to any kind of military maneuver and tensions that the most. it's a particularly high he certainly do not want to confront china at mach one and they do not have to resort to work below their respective military strains to counter balance hang up so the best. chance at the moment of course is to count on the united states more strategically and do you want more foreign power was into the region so i still have a better chalons are exerting the pressure of the international community on china until now britain and america have had to make do with exerting their influence on the region from afar but with the talk of a physical presence there the fear is it could upset the balance are the bennetts
