use the observers as a bargaining chip but let's. start with peter all over has been after i've come present heard the words from the foreign minister p. what kind of bargain is circular bro talking about here. well what russia wants to see is the extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria now they proposed a resolution to the u.n. security council which says just that's no some of russia's foreign partners have come forward and said yes we'll vote for your resolution if you vote for the second resolution has been put put forward by countries such as the united states and great britain now the wording of the second resolution is open to interpretation it could see foreign military intervention in syria now this is something that russia have always been against they don't want to see any foreign military intervention because they don't want to see the situation in syria turn out the same way as the situation in libya prompting sergei lavrov to say that well russia feels

blackmailed. western powers of course thank you russia for some time of stalling the syrian peace process by supporting president assad had a number of respond to those claims. let's go back to comments that were made a little while ago by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in which she said china and russia were to blame for the ongoing conflict in syria saying that essentially they had blood on their hands and would have to pay a price no foreign minister lavrov reacting well less than pleased you could say to those comments saying that this wasn't the way that the problem is the should be done. to look at it and usually some acceptable to blame it all on russia and china and especially to resort to threats like they will speak with us which is beyond not just diplomacy rules but economy decency so far it's the syrian people who are p. forty and willingness of some of our foreign partners to observe the u.n. security council's decision soon. well those syrian

people love rove mentioned they're all the ones that russia wants to see decide the future of the country there have been claims that russia is supporting the assad government these were dismissed out of hand by. saying that it's the people of russia to the side and that russia wasn't taking one side or the other. of this newsgroup with those and they tell us that we need to convince nasa to step down voluntarily that is simply unrealistic but this is not about our preferences likes or dislikes he will not step down not because we came up but because he has the support of a significant part of the country's population. so gay lover all of this setting out russia's stall when it comes to syria and what to do in the future of course all of this coming ahead of those all important meetings with kofi annan the u.n. peace envoy here in moscow. but artie's peter all of our report

right following the latest comments out of the russian foreign ministry for us live from moscow thanks for that. so some breaking news this hour former england manager fabio capello has been named versus now coach it's been confirmed by the country's football federation are all the details of his contract are yet to be finalized let's not talk to our duties andrew farmer from sport of course can tell us more about what this means and a little bit of background about capello brusha didn't do too well at the. euro championship in poland and ukraine how much does this have to do with that in this kind of revamping what a lot to do with it because they said before the euros that he was going to step down anyways the national coach of russia so from that point they were looking for a new manager fabio capello a massive name in football famous for leading england for the last four years he did step down from there after falling out with the english f.a. but i mean apart from his success of getting them to the euros he did it all to get

them to the world cup in two thousand and ten not a successful campaign that has to be said that was part of the reason he went but he comes with a great track record before he took over england he won the champions league he also won league titles in italy and also in spain with major clubs there so he's a big fish in the footballing world and he when he was. in charge of england he did in around about six million pounds a year and it was thought in the media that if anyone could perhaps compete with that sort of salary would be the russians were not sure what his salary would be and i have to say we're still waiting for an official comment from the russian fought for russian football union but they have said in the build up to this that he would be a man that would be prepared to stay and work in russia which is something big africa and the guus hiddink the manager before him didn't do so i think that could be a plus he didn't speak very good english when he was managing england that was an issue i don't think it will be an issue about speaking russian here because obviously

they have translators and that wasn't a problem for the governor or getting so if it's if it's. everybody seems to be suggesting it has definite confirmed probably a good appointment. as usual thing you know how when we do we'll have to see the world cup in brazil and it's time not exactly known names as previous heads before it like you said hitting dick advocate and now capello well i'm sure many people hoping that first of all find out how much he'll be making and whether or not he'll be the one we'll see but it seems to be ninety percent certain from what we can work out in the briefs to take them through to work to a championship right the world cup we know all right andrew farmer from our two sport bring us some details about the fabulous capello and of course this news that he will head russia's national team. well as the e.u. debt woes show no sign of letting up our business desk is keeping a close eye for you want how the markets are reacting to. the euro zone is still

swampland certainty on one day the euro drop to with sweet a half year low against the british pound and european equity markets sliding while germany's bonds are extending their gains that's all signs that europe's strongest economies given to the crisis all of the details in the business bulletin in about ten minutes. time how to ride out the recession how europeans are preparing to survive by themselves their politicians and currency flounder we report in just a few minutes. is going to be.

resistance is not the politics but the culture of. this couldn't. something on its own. cultures of resistance on the march. you're watching our team live from moscow well there's a second wave of social justice protests sweeping israel this time triggered by a man setting himself on fire. fire at a rally marking the first anniversary of demos that led to thousands of people gathering again in the streets live now to tel aviv for our middle east

correspondent paula we're joins us now with more paula how big are the protests from what you've seen so far. well they set me growing what we see now is the whole issue of economic and social concerns been back in the mainstream israeli discourse and this comes in light of the anniversary protests hold this process we came to around the country marking those social protests that were held in the summer months of last year if you remember those demonstrations for the largest number of israelis in this country's history take to the streets of this country now the protests climax on a saturday night when an israeli form a small businessmen sit in south on fire he's currently fighting for his life is in critical condition and he's suffering from a second and third degree burns the sense that he did this because the israeli government was literally robbing him of his livelihood and his future while some saturday there have been solidarity protests held around the country on sunday

these two thousand people took to the streets of a major highway here in tel aviv in jerusalem there were clashes between protesters and police in front of the prime minister's residence and what we're seeing from organizers of these demonstrations is a hope that this incident has injected a new anger and a new passion that will mobilize israelis back onto the streets so we're watching for more protests later today if not today then later in this week and certainly on the weekend and in the coming weeks these protests also had a throwback to the occupy wall street demonstrations we saw last year at that time they were slogans similar being valued across here here's well people calling these demonstrations occupy his role as indeed the anger and frustration of the government and the fact that it's done so little since last year to address real social concerns as that anger grows paul is there any indication that these protests might grow into something bigger a movement maybe. this at me is those indications and we're seeing already now the

foundations for a movement being laid people making a parallel between what happened here in israel with this man moshe silman satan himself in light with the street vendor who set himself on fire back in december two thousand and ten many people saying that you have these incidents of self mutilation that all the last extreme the discrimination of people to actually one point their governments and hold them accountable the netanyahu government following those this demonstrations last year did sit up a committee to investigate but most israelis feel that it has done little to precious to nothing to actually address the concerns the justification by the government has been that it has more pressing concerns such as that of a nuclear iran the question of ongoing violence in syria to to to to address but many people here feel that this is merely an excuse not to put attention on the very real concerns at the same time there's also the feeling here talking to

protests organizers that these demonstrations could move from economic protests to political considerations there is of course the arab spring which never quite moved into israel where they were rumbling have and step in today's newspapers and some opinion columns you hear coming to you to say that perhaps this could be the spark that will see the arab revolution finally be firmly implanted self in israeli society. right archies paulus lear reporting live from tel aviv thanks for that. america's trust in the mainstream media times low that's according to a recent gallup opinion poll the growing discontent is opening the door for a different kind of journalism explains. i think good as statics round the clock operations a product always being exported america's mainstream news industry generates power and profits but it seems partisan reporting and frequent gaffes may have made many

americans turn away from the big broadcasters when their big uprising the revolution going are across. and have going on cruise katie holmes are going to war that program where are a recent gallup poll shows an all time low of only twenty percent of the public trusting the news many say this means citizen journalism is becoming a big game changer and the amazing thing about training citizens to be really good pundits is that they they have a wealth of information that journalists just don't have when you help them connect what they know are exposed to their experience with a big picture. political event it's very powerful on what that journalist and best selling author and i only wolf not only supports citizen journalism she and business partner lisa thomas have built

a nonpartisan training ground for it it's called daily klout dot com we're not just teaching people to vent we're training people to write rigorous shapely opinion pieces which are eight hundred words long and also to source their assertions we also teach them how to link what they're exposing are calling for with action steps. daily klout also features a legislative search engine that monitors and explains bills making their way to capitol hill a tool allowing everyday people to hold federal state and corporate leaders accountable when america's fourth estate fails to i think the mainstream media has become about entertainment. and. so concerned who holds the purse strings if the mainstream media is controlled by large corporate interests they're going they're beholden to them but this website is independently financed giving tens of thousands of citizens the freedom to report on topics many news networks are

accused of suppressing i think one of the best ways you can judge the state of democracy is in how it's needed. and i think if you heard of the situation where the citizens of the country are actually bypassing the mainstream media i think that says a lot about the stage of democracy critics however argue that only properly educated and experienced journalists should be intrusted with understanding the rigors and ethics involved in news reporting but even then. there is no guarantee the public will receive facts the supreme court justices have struck down the individual mandate for the unconstitutional the direct blow to the president i would say it's a direct blow to his democratic party the individual mandate has been struck down it has been struck down no it has not. stopped

i knew. he was mass media still maintains and stronger and wider reach that citizen journalism but it no longer holds the power to determine what the public is the baby doing or even reporting about growing up or not artsy we are. wired to always have the full story and the news the others might miss that are key dot com here's some of what we've got right now tokyo to understand there's a number three capital cautioned against possible future events. in bahrain kicks out of the only current human rights activists are trying to capture the crackdown on camera all the details are available for you right now at our t.v. dot com. the.

europeans across the continent are tightening their belts but some are taking it to the extreme just by the e.u. power players repeatedly that the euro is on the road to recovery artie's been to austria to meet a man who is going all out in preparing for the worst. it seems like a place where the grass is always green and where every cloud has a silver lining but even in these ideal exciting in western australia there are fears of an economic doom as they. put the last few years has been converting his house into fully self-sufficient residence and his reasons a purely economic stimulus on account of the got the worst case scenario that we're preparing for is the total collapse of the economy there would be problems with food electricity water supply so i want to make sure we could waste this time when the money will be worthless. solar panels a wind turbine an emergency generator he's now producing more than two thirds of

forefront of the cold war and preparing for the worst was part of the government's contingency plans but the idea that calamity may come from them in europe rather than outside is relatively new and therefore all the more frightening after decades of increasing crisp area the thought of losing basic comforts is still rather hard to take in for many northern europeans but on the other hand a few years ago their southern neighbors couldn't imagine that soup kitchens would become so popular in greece or that food aid would be in such demand in spain some people say i don't care for the government. i'm responsible for myself. about fifty percent of the. citizens may think of this. but the majority will say no government we pay our taxes and so for we expect that we get.

economics. well take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world one of the second world wars most wanted criminals has been reported they found in hungary largest clause six terry who is now ninety seven sent over fifteen thousand jews to auschwitz while working as a police commander of hakim getto he fled to canada under a new identity after being sentenced to death but his disguise was revealed and he went on the run again and has been hiding for over fifteen years. afghanistan's education minister has survived a roadside bomb attack in the north the third assault on a top government official in as many days officials say the explosive was similar to those usually used by the taliban on sunday a suicide blast at a wedding claimed twenty lives including
