if you want security council votes to send three hundred observers to syria russian balls nations not tons of mind admission after the two are says only pressure on their side regime will work. campaigning ends in france ahead of sunday's presidential pool with voters facing a tough choice at a time of social division and a record unemployment. and energy hungry china works to secure its slice of the arctic and its untapped mineral resources with the chinese on a tour of the nordic state. international news live from moscow this is actually with me our thanks for joining

us but as the u.n. security council has unanimously voted on a resolution to send hundreds of observers to syria moscow says it will help promote the yuan backed cease fire agreement with multiple reports of the truce being violated by both sides and she's married in britain has more from new york for us. once again the united nations security council has unanimously adopted a resolution on syria the most recent one drafted by russia and co-sponsored by eight other countries the resolution calls for and authorizes up to three hundred unarmed u.n. military observers to go to syria and monitor the truce the cease fire that was put in place april twelfth between damascus and the opposition groups this resolution also calls on the syrian government to meet its responsibilities and pledge is called for in the six point peace plan laid out by u.n.

joint envoy mr kofi on on russia of course believes that this most recent development and syria is a step in the right direction but it is a good resolution isn't fundamentally. in syria. concerns is rebuilding in and suit. the main goal should be to comply with the resolution any deviation intended be interpretation of the mandate is unacceptable libyan model she's remain in the past in the meantime u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice left the meeting on saturday not showing as much optimism as russia and many other countries had susan rice took to her twitter feed to say the deployment of three hundred or three thousand unarmed observers cannot on its own stop assad's quote murderous rampage susan

rice said that external pressures are additionally needed to solve the problem in syria the us ambassador also said that washington and its allies are preparing for action that will be required if assad persists to quote slaughter clearly this is. is undermining in many ways the effort that is being made from inside the security council to support the six point peace plan that was laid out by mr kofi annan i'm baster chirk it said that these efforts that are trying to put pressure on an already stressful situation does not help bring peace and security to syria what was drugged some to me in the statement which was made of their eyes on by some colleagues from a west european countries even though they supported this russian draft on the end of this resolution is that the missed an opportunity to send a signal to the opposition they get criticizing the government saying nothing about

what they expect the position which is in fact outlined very clearly in the security council resolution which they themselves have just voted for and noble's predictions of a boom on blue my own threats of vet as brands which are being patched those where those things are not imo productive i think they have distracting for a month from the implementation of the growth and on and on from the political efforts of the security council and they may give a ground for some extremists to believe that their course is a still has some prospect for for taking over the political process which we have trying to assist that was they can see this little girl will even though the security council voted unanimously today we are told that the some members of the security council some important members of the international community. are still continuing to think and going from patient their arms towards

a syrian government and that's richardson says the syrian government will be primarily responsible for the safety and security of the u.n. observers that will be deployed to syria they will be deployed once the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon feels that it's safe enough for the. observers to go and there has been enough decision of violence this resolution the most recent one adopted also underscores that the syrian government and the opposition group both have to put their weapons out weapons down and begin gauging in dialogue. and the political analysts from the u.k. told us that peace efforts in syria are being undermined by what is a key mounting pressure on the assad regime. look at what the original strategy was the original plan was to basically roll out the same strategy as was employed in libya the syrian people so to that end the fermented a civil war they were successful in that using their proxy forces using libyan

militants that they shipped in across the turkish border using people trained in lebanon and turkey and successfully managed to ferment some kind of insurgency so we will situation there's a battle within the western strategic kind of planners at the moment about how which way they're going to play that stitching became very difficult for anyone to have any faith that these proxy forces around could actually had any hope of taking power and therefore the kind of idea of regime change most realistic observers now saying is not really feasible if in less outside intervention comes into play so this still keen to promote this idea that they may conduct some kind of aerial bombardment some kind of mass slaughter to help their proxies on the ground in order to keep the civil war going to bring are now a media blackout in france as presidential race is giving the kind of there's just a little breathing space air tight contest which threatens to oust the current

leader nicolas sarkozy if not all the ten candidates wins in more than fifty percent stay electrical but again a week later to choose between the top two expected to include socialist leader and frontrunner francois hollande after his tests are seen there are reports economic gloom and all time high unemployment are dominating voters' concerns. one day to go before the french at the polls but one in four voters still haven't made up their bikes yet part of the french people's concerns are jobs while at the park it's especially at a time when unemployment is around ten percent it is an all time high that's about three million people unemployed so who could take the top job and solve the past people's problems well according to the latest poll social is probably a part of a lot is due to believe that about twenty five percent are potential voters and that one of the. target the top earners of the country but he is criticized for this widely perceived lack of experience truly is incumbent because he's a deeply unpopular president and one recent poll you would declare him the most

unpopular president in history and his presidency has been marred with one economic crisis after another the last weeks of campaigning he started more radical rhetoric of just clamping down on immigration. or talking tough when it comes to security matters especially after the incident has also taken on a more confrontational tone towards the european union opposing france freeze its budget part of you should do that you currently plays according to the polls is head of the national front party she has been sticking to it and to immigration platform vowing to cut down the number of legal immigrants to temp hours every year that's down from about one hundred eighty thousand at the moment and she has also said that she wants france the euro and go back to the french currency the french frank and what's being called the big surprise of business french presidential campaign is the middle of the left right now his numbers have doubled since january from about sixty seven percent to about fourteen percent now he is mincing no words

he is talking about a civil insurrection a revolution he said now says the financial sector and he also was shards of the fiscal pact that have been side he wants to withdraw from so he's taking on a very strong hard line approach these are the top four contenders for the top job in france now based on the rhetoric they've been using in their campaign france's european neighbors as well as other partners understand that no matter who takes on the presidency there would be disruptions to what a form of continue would be expected it's just a matter of to what extent these changes will impact the relationship as far as french people are concerned they have a few more hours left to make that choice. so french because he's fighting for his political life as front. this presidential action begins in just a few hours' time but opinion poll saying he could be toppled by his socialist survival francois hollande and defeat for cyclizine has been a close ally to washington will massively change france's foreign policy says

michel chossudovsky from the research center for globalization montreal succors is all suck or good living. here is the american that he is all of us actually well. first rather than the interests of a very public very much they say us foreign policy exhibits us foreign policy i suspect that if. some cosby show was looked so easy to follow on becomes president of the republic we may see the. monorail shift in. british foreign policy but i should also mention the other. aspects of this question which is the role of wall street although europe you go pick up all the landscape because he was true all of that is true of washington

and perhaps your presidents as a socialist president will gave us a little bit more of its republican view go through visions of gaming and they didn't always other girls will as well as with new european union. and media currency crisis tough cuts. tragically integration. who will be left standing with the people speech. the french election on r.t. . bahrain protester has been found shot after overnight clashes of the security forces it's reported some other demonstrators were also beaten by riot police ahead of the controversial bahrain formula one grand prix on friday turns out thousands to ponder and she regime protester coincide with the race and to discuss the situation in and in and around bahrain are joined live by faisal jr bus huffington

post blogger from london faisal welcome to the program so the country's government continues to use force against protesters and so far we've heard only low key criticism from the west and like the powerful rhetoric leveled against syria why's that. well i mean you have to take things into context really you couldn't possibly compare what goes on in there to the mass slaughtering that's going on there in syria not in any way see one life is into one life too many of course and you know it was a life too much but i have to say that key to be fair when we come to you know comparing the two situations and i think you best you know to compare them at all the situation in the hague has been very critical not just here it has kind of been died down for us like you but unfortunately i have to say that it's because it hasn't been resolved we will continue to see things like what are the last night

and throughout this there. are eight hours long provide a base for us naval exhibiting the gulf explain the softer stars from here punching in oh no not at all i mean look you hear all sorts of things about. not being covered and i don't think there's been anybody who has been as harsh as c.n.n. amber lyon for example a very harsh criticism in their documentary about the events in berkeley even neighboring gulf states such as qatar there's a famous documentary that al-jazeera english produced this is called shouting that arbitron i mean it hasn't been very fair towards the government because they didn't have their opinion but it's been very harsh to to say that they have been covered but today and i think incidents you know over the top however as i said aired here you need to take things into context you have eight thousand people dying in syria one person who's died and according to my sources are just find out that he may

have there been you know he might have died from a recent of taking drugs and the ministry of interior has said there's been suspicious circumstances around yes so you know the circumstances around this guy's death as we haven't been confirmed. yes of course if it turns out that he did because of the live ammunition not a record that it's a very serious opens and it's a very strong message by the government saying that they're going to go back to using violence when things have moved slightly towards a resolution so i would wait until a clear report has been produced about this protest says that. and even one of your speeches you said the arab spring is bad for global stability so surely any move towards democracy should be welcomed right. well i mean i just would like to clarify that. the cambridge union society.

arab spring is good for the salute your my argument was as long as the. major powers in the world do not change the way of thinking it will be. through to global stability that happened a few days after russia and china have voted against the vetoes the un resolution of the interview. and my argument is that people who are. going to grow up with a missing limb missing leg are not going to be forgive him. for being silent as the slaughter. in syria. plays old j. about huffington post middle east blog from london thank you very much indeed for your time. here with our c.n.n. still to come a chance to live cancer is in india with their hope in

kind of status in the uk the council i think first of china will use always diplomatic skills to try to gain more support from from the not it countries which are more friendly towards trying up in this region another uses are china were also us is in army currall our reach again or supports currently the west has seen the prices. for example i certainly think china will use more of the wells to gain their support in the region. up to two thousand people have joined an antenatal rally in central russia to protest against the plan's transit hub for their liason the city over yeah let's begin our surprise that the protesters chanted including go to nato on russian soil some of their allies as transitory start got the sun go through russia under new deal would see nato using a yard of scare port to move nonmilitary cargo the opposition claims that would

have money to buy it. but now there might be a chance in a revolutionary move india's patent office has decided there a german pharmaceutical powerhouse would lose its exclusive rights to manufacture a lifesaving cancer. was absorbingly hard. it is manufactured from abroad and soon here it was an affordable population now a compulsory license would be given to all local indian pharmaceutical manufacturers could make the eggs. same drug buy cheaper all of a sudden bosworth a number of medicine and little guy you know the good those who have excuse. 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 to trips agreement spoke it's to provide medication to all people in developing countries

that means that global pharmaceutical companies are required to sell the life altering medication at a reasonably afford 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 rule in and is looking for ways to challenge it this is a small glass of water going into the pigeon holed up who. you know but i've seen in all their other opinions you know we've given them a little chance to live and to chance for india to stand up against domination from

france and all of its territory lies beyond the arctic circle so the winter here last eight months again which means only a few species can survive in the harsh conditions range here and fish mean everything for the indigenous people creating this welcoming land discovered. an icon of the north and yet some of the native northern 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 in on the tundra and i'm about to join the celebrations. and i see throwing. stick wrestling. and hurdle jumping all cause for competition but the main event is rapidly approaching. going to the races

bringing teams from far and wide from 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. 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 none of these a c three ish all having been caught from local rivers and i'm told demand is booming. so you know to imagine that there isn't enough of our product even to cover the mastic market europeans find our products delicious
