if you want to set to unleash a massive observer mission to syria in a last ditch attempt to prevent all out civil war. decision time in france after final appeals to voters are made by ten presidential hopefuls trying out the top job in a country riven by social divisions and record unemployment. plus the chinese economic powerhouse sets its sights on the arctic as beijing weighs in for a slice of the untapped riches there. is am in the russian capital you're watching r t on marina joshie welcome to the

program the u.n. is expected to say in hundreds of observers to syria after the security council votes on a resolution later on saturday russia wants the monitors to fly out of one so as the violence in syria grinds on the spike the un brokered cease fire. has the latest from new york. there's been a combination of two resolutions to drop resolutions that were submitted to the un security council one was submitted from russia the other submitted by the europe european union now a combination of these resolutions calls for. you and i observe her mission in syria to expand. their any of the third verse to a total of we hundred observers to go to syria and continue monitoring the cease fire that was implemented on april twelfth to change in a hospice and the opposition group this is of course one of the many calls holes

that were laid out by mr kofi annan on going to envoy for for the syrian first the syria conflict so he laid out a six point peace plan cause and so this observer mission was is one of many things he has asked for war to bring about peace in syria another element of this drop or solution that work told is that it calls upon syria to commit to its responsibilities and its pledges meaning the syrian government regarding all its obligations according to kofi annan on the six point peace plan so it seems as though we're going to see another consensus across the board in the security council can turn in syria this will be the second saturday in a row where another resolution would be adopted the vote is expected to be held on saturday and it is expected to be voted upon and adopted and this would clearly show something that we haven't seen for thirteen months speaker of the security

council has been divided for so long on how to approach syria and clearly to see a consensus across the board among the international community. we're now reporting there now more than a year of violence in syria said to have killed around ten thousand people and it concerned the country is on the brink of civil war or to the sound boy who now reports from a city worthy of rising began to ask people whether it's been worth it. they call it the credo of the syrian revolution when a group of schoolkids was arrested and got on last spring for painting and the speedy protests to stick to the streets for days on end. the syrian military responded by rolling mean its tanks even a year later the chief security officer in daraa is unapologetic demonstrators were backed by a gunman shooting at civilians and the army and of course their intention was to put the blame on the government and those kids give them fuel food and made them

write those things. but even among a south supporters it's not a view shared by everyone to protest in daraa and the ensuing crackdown by the military through the turning point for syria and in hindsight some syrian officials now wish they handled it differently. we made a mistake when back in the days we didn't get a chance to syria based peaceful opposition to express itself more freely some of them truly care about the nation now we have to deal with the armed rebels the council in this standoff and then you have religious sex. or the muslim brothers. which nellie's no longer bound and if you're an emergency law lifted the syrian authorities are now trying to get the media on their side they've allowed more foreign journalists into the country as stipulated by the annan plan and eager to share with the world what they call the real picture.

but the bowler tell the realities on the ground put their own spin on any p.r. effort and. i think use of un monitors and foreign journalists pressure on better rebels intensify the attacks on the army units forcing syrian officials to abandon the sweet talk her journal is back on to the us is the government we're implementing the cease fire the terrorist group. any occasion any of these it beats international monitors or borders to force the army to respond to. well this government in the village each of find the right balance between freedom and security may have allowed this conflict to take off many analysts believe that learning how to do it is also crucial for its resolution president assad has long spoken about reforms he's been a popular president for most syrians for a long time because of his you know so-called reform i think this protest in syria

actually. happened because you know there are people within the syrian regime who don't really want to reform their the hardliners so so this actually helped sort of you know the reform minded members of the regime in government. you know their reform vision a lot more quickly a year into the uprising is still one of the most cities in syria despite checkpoints all around the store is breached on an almost daily basis and here people are just as afraid to talk as their freight. protests have been called this part of ignited the syrian flame it's over the past here is cursed a sizable part of this country and while some syrian officials may now have regrets over the way point was handled it's not nearly enough to extinguish the fire that's not going to artsy syria. to get more news and analysis of the situation in syria

us. one day to go before the french ship the bulls won it for voters still haven't made up their minds yet top of the french people's concerns are shops and money in their pockets especially at a time when unemployment it's about ten percent hitting an all time high that's about three million people on the oil so who can take the top job and solve the french people's problems according to the latest polls socialist party candidates all knowledge is taking the lead about twenty five percent of our attention focused now on the other wants to target the top of the cuts a lot also causes me to go shake a new fiscal discipline back to not just include hysteria but also how the world measures with me is criticised that is why i have some experience the finance was some of the stuff. to be an awful lot of these and bold to declare it the most popular president in history of this presidency more than one copy my stuff now that last week he stood up. to our immigration bill for

a towel or something to stop us a security. system is also taken on a more positive policy of. closing france presents such a contribution to the budget apparently at third place according to the polls as much of the national party as she doesn't stick it to the immigration law allowing to cut down the number of illegal immigrants ten thousand here and south about a hundred eighty thousand at the moment and she has also said that she wants france to adopt the euro and go back to the french currency the french track what's being called the big surprise this french presidential campaign is coming up short of the left right now his number some topples is gender because it's seven percent to now but forty percent is mincing no words to stop the civil insurrection that lucia denounces official sector and he also was sheilds the e.u.

is the fact that it's. possible draw for me to these take not very strong hardline approach these are the top four contenders by the top shop in france the base of the rhetoric the big easy they can take france's neighbors the smallest part misunderstand that the battle takes on the presidency there will be disruptions when the former to be big may be expected it's just a matter of to what extent these changes will impact the relationships as far as french people are concerned we have a few more hours left to make that choice. that are still you are reading and you're watching our show live from moscow still to come this hour a harsh lesson for canadian students rallying against the steep hiking tuition fees came in for some rough treatment from dr always full of stories just ahead. just weeks ahead of the post mubarak presidential vote in the age of cans of thousands had once again filled cairo's central square in protest demonstrators want an immediate end to military rule which they've lived under for more than

there are times we don't have money to buy it. but now there might be a chance in a revolutionary move india's patent office has decided that they're a german pharmaceutical powerhouse would lose its exclusive rights to manufacture a lifesaving cancer pale rice was a sort of an easy hard. it is manufacture of some of the boardroom scene here it was an affordable population now a compulsory license would be given to a local indian pharmaceutical manufacturer that could make the exact same drug but cheaper all of the seven dollars worth the number of war vets medicine and one of the you know the goodness of the bosun that it's news but the question of the price it's all possible because of the revised trade and international property rights agreement passed by the world trade organization known as trips the trips agreement

spoke it's to provide medication to all for people in developing countries that means that global pharmaceutical companies are required to sell a life altering medication at a reasonably of one to people in those countries if they don't do that patent offices in those countries can ask these global pharmaceutical companies to provide compulsory licenses so that a local manufacturer can benefit make those drugs the idea is that the global pharmaceutical companies would then be stripped of their monopoly on drugs in developing countries. there has been statements that it is quote disappointed in the ruling and is looking for ways to challenge it this is a small glass of water i mean it would have been the whole of us who even there. you know the price and all the other things you know we give them a little each

an icon of the north and yet some of the native north and peoples follow grazing reindeer wherever they go their routines revolving around the animals the life of the reindeer herder is usually hard in isolated but occasionally they gather to share their world and compete in a skills they honed on the tundra and i'm about to join the celebrations. last seen throwing. stick wrestling. and hurdle jumping all cause for competition but the main event is rapidly approaching. three races bringing teams from foreign oil and the competition is tough i feel a bit nervous my rivals get better every year even though i won last year this year the younger ones may compete on a par with me. and perhaps he's right to be

a bit jittery it seems getting started is the trickiest moment. sometimes for cameramen to. look your feet. after the festivities and sit down to eat some reindeer of course but also that other russian arctic speciality fish in this nearby factory they're preparing thousands of them none of these are sea fish all having been caught quota from local rivers and i'm told demand is booming and simply take over there isn't enough of our product even to cover the domestic market europeans find our products delicious and it's a logical if you were but so far with simply haven't enough of them. to see where all this comes from we caught up with andre he's been fishing since he was a child on the today the river shark pike like his catch and dream. it's

a true russian. and we. can't say for fishing in the south and it may have as advantages as for me i love to fish right here in the north when it's frosty the air is fresh and the sun is bright it's great at. ten point andres off to prepare his dinner and we have a small insight into central importance of these animals to the lines of north of the islands without the fish and without the deer. in the lives of those who live here would be very empty indeed some bottom. was a mouth watering for their indeed now let's for a change talk about genetically modified food and were residents in new york laurie harvest asks people in the streets whether they think jail food is safe.

are you concerned about genetically modified or enhanced foods or is it just an overblown issue this week let's talk about that do you care if you eat them obviously not i'm well i think it's less processed foods in europe that's for sure yeah i do think a lot of it is corporate driven here. it is related to money unfortunately modifying genetically food is totally. controlled and they want to pick over the sources over mankind so they can basically push up on us so why are americans ok with that i think is the knowledge the formation from regular t.v. . just being into team did you know that coke all over is made with corn syrup in the united states but everywhere else it's made with pure cane sugar i didn't know that but if you. don't what is that why don't americans demand better

things in their food. they don't want to pay more money for their food need to get used to what they're eating but i don't care as long as they're comfortable it doesn't matter but would be my guess i think our country is run by greed and money and there's a lot of issues here so. is it fair when the greed is so strong that it messes with what people eat. i think i think you just answered the question with your question do you think that because the population is growing and growing and growing bet we're bound to eat things like meat meat in petri dishes and those kinds of extremes probably yes there's this website i don't remember the name of it but supposedly you put what you we in a week and told you how many earths we would need for every one of the world the same amount that you know i spoke to him and it turns out. there really need to be six earths for me i know most you know decent size to say the least but you know

you express that if americans stopped buying genic we modified food rather you think that they'd stop making out or that's a hundred percent yes the find a moment to demand dries up the supply dries up to date need to start putting that on labels like everything that's in there right absolutely and more people are getting wise to labels now i think when they're in the supermarkets and the shopping they'll see the signs and know the stunt to read more than to get off the shelf and put in a basket i think is slowly getting the idea through media but i think at least it will more useful further but they're not you concerned about genetically modified foods the bottom line is if you live in the united states you're probably eating a lot more of them than you realize. i was caught in the sports world and here are just ahead but next i'll be back where have lions just a few moments. something
