thank you you don't know i'm trying hard luck is a big issue. in a national powers agreed transition plan for syria rolling out foreign interference with un peace envoy kofi annan saying the country needs a new government which could include members of president as its regime and the opposition. and here in syria no official reaction to the new proposal so far we opposition leader is previously saying it will look towards any interim government unless president bashar assad goes. out of the stories that shape that we here in our leaders vote to allow its bailout fund to funnel money directly to struggling banks for the first time and a setback for germany's angela merkel after having pressure from italy and spain.
5:01 am
plus defiant but undefeated joined us on refuses to surrender to british police despite the deadline for his extradition to sweden passing saying he won't leave the ecuadorian embassy until a decision on his asylum request is made. as one pm in the russian gavel you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program now hopes of a diplomatic solution to the syrian crisis have risen after a major world powers agreed a peace strategy for the war torn country with a new plan calls for the creation of a transitional government that could include members of president bashar the lawsuits cabinet and the opposition while russia hailed the agreement as one that doesn't dictate a political solution for syria where you know talk to a corresponding europe is going off has been there the talks in geneva. well. you
5:02 am
get a story you go it was hours of ten stocks here in geneva so what was it like being there and seeing a really firsthand well this whole discussion on syria in general has been a diplomatic roller coaster which has been going through its ups and downs and even before the conference in geneva russia's foreign minister met with u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in st petersburg came out it seemed to him she changed her position on syria but at the same time she wasn't going to confirm that she didn't meet with the journalist after this meeting then the conference itself which lasted much much longer than was initially planned nobody really knew what to expect but in the end they did and signing this document when i was an expert actually hail this document as a victory diplomatically to be for russia what's your take on this well it's really hard to see because they did reach an agreement but violence unfortunately still continues in syria and until that and i guess that will be
5:03 am
a complete diplomatic victory but russia has been saying the entire time that equal pressure has to be applied on both sides and basically that outside players cannot order anything any solution and there in syria well we can now actually listen to what russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov had to say there on this. yeah we consider it of the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian sides how the transitional process should happen politically how exactly this process will take place is up to the syrian people this document is very precise on that. all right that was russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov they are now what exactly does the new plan imply well i mean the idea of this one is that this new transitional governing body will be formed in syria which will include all sides of the call for including the authorities and all parties within
5:04 am
the opposition which is also quite diverse and in the future the plan also. proposes the creation of a new constitution and democratic elections in syria and all that will be monitored by the united nations and well specifically by u.n. special envoy kofi annan himself and plans to continue visiting syria and contacting both sides well it's still there a lot of a question answers but what's important is that the dialogue keeps going on now given what's been said and done so far what sort of faith you think awaits bashar asad well a similar question was. actually kofi annan was asked this is the same question and i think let's just listen to what he had to say on this. one.
5:05 am
so i guess we can report it better than mr otton himself well thanks very much indeed igor for bringing us to feel a move from the talks took place in geneva on syria there. now the urgency for international agreement on syria is underlined by the intensifying daily violence there is where if a national reports from the capital damascus. we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but people we have been able to speak to here in the syrian capital have actually divided on how to concede to this document this makes an engine a bus full of them indeed call this a breakthrough and light at the end of the tunnel and they say it could indeed be a solution to the sixteen month old crisis but the crisis here in syria but obviously very skeptical they say it takes two to tango and it's absolutely unclear soufan how the dialogue is possible while one of the size at least doesn't want to
5:06 am
talk with friend here where you have before from the opposition of the syrian or and based opposition but they will not accept any transitional government and they will not accept any peace plan eva side is still in power meanwhile violence is continuing to spread all over the country here in syria and almost every day we are hearing about dozens of people killed there were more injured everywhere in the country but the obvious thing is that it wasn't children are being involved with this crisis here's my report on that. the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in a military uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and put in front of camera now this little girl four maybe five years old and she's almost crying as people behind the camera pushed her and other kids to chant and slogans out of nineteen q it's hard for me sam and.
