russia and china. russia and china have vetoed another western backed resolution of the un security council which threatened syria with new sanctions and could have pave the way for military intervention. also this of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu extends his blameless to include lebanon saying both iran and hezbollah were behind the blast and ball garia that left eight people dead. and british intelligence mimics the very hackers it's fighting against with the country's security committee calling for the launch of covert operations aimed at attacking cyber criminals.

from a new center here in moscow this is twenty four hours a day the u.s. and its allies a failed to push an anti a sad resolution through the u.n. security council for the third time russia and china have once again vetoed the motion for the latest from new york let's cross now to. why exactly have moscow and beijing stop this latest draft resolution dead in its tracks. well simply put russia and china used their double veto efforts within the security council on the draft resolution on syria because they have said over and over they will not support a draft resolution under chapter seven of the u.n. charter that chapter seven would allow the security council to impose sanctions on the syrian government if it did not live up to. the details of the resolution that

was calling on damascus to withdraw its military from heavy populated areas and also stop using heavy weapons on the opposition groups in russia and china and the other two countries that abstained such as south africa and pakistan they said that this draft proposed by western countries lacked balance it was only putting const consequences and pressure on the syrian government and not putting pressure on the armed opposition groups in syria so there is another draft resolution that has been proposed again by the u.k. that is being circulated that allows for the extension of the u.n. supervision mission supervision mission in syria for thirty days that draft is circulating but according to the russian ambassador to the u.n. to tell you that there will not be a vote within the next few hours that vote would have to take place on friday

ambassador churkin said that there are some contradictions in the text of this u.k. drafted resolution but it does at the very least allow for an extension of the supervision mandate that expires within the next twenty four hours now and buster churkin also addressed the media and when he was asked why he believes there is such an increasing amount of western force being pushed against syria the russian envoy responded that this is the political pressure is not just being aimed at taking down the syrian government is also being aimed directly at disk. he stabilizing iran this is something that many experts and. analysts have said was the ultimate goal of the west but here we have the russian envoy saying that this extends beyond the crisis in syria that western forces are now targeting their pressure not just at syria but also at iran reena thanks very much indeed for

that report are there with the latest from new york. well staying with the syrian crisis some of the bloodiest of the conflict that both the government and rebels dubbed the period following yesterday's deadly bombing in damascus. three senior members of assad's government including the defense minister it coincided with intensifying clashes in the capital and across the country which killed over one hundred fifty people according to reports the syrian. counted speculation over president assad's health and whereabouts by showing the leader welcoming the newly appointed defense minister in damascus our correspondent is in the capital. the news about blast has come at a very tough time for the syrian capital in the last four days damascus has been seen for what the opposition and free syrian army have dubbed the final battle for damascus the decisive battle for the syrian capital shootings have been heard in

very different parts of the syrian capital we've also seen black smoke drifting over the city's skyline and we've also been hearing helicopters not only flying over one of the oldest continuously inhabited capitals in the war old but also firing and we can see some smoke even now in actually many different neighborhoods of damascus many countries have caused the embassies here in syria had half withdrawn all personnel in this neighborhood alone turkish embassy over the saudi embassy this is the building of american embassy tallon embassies these embassies have also suspended their work overseas companies have also have created their staff foreigners no longer feel safe here in the syrian capital and they have fled but ordinary syrians don't have the same choice the world has come to their door and they have nowhere to run and they're trying to organize their everyday life waiting for this nightmare to end one of the most important rule these days in the syrian capital is not to go to the cities troubled areas where the clashes between the rebels and the army still continue and the names of these neighborhoods are

very well known for everybody here might have began. no j.q. to my derm it's too dangerous but damascus is a very big city with a population of around two million people maybe these days even more with all displaced families from homes and other at the center of the uprising from all across the country shelter now here in the capital and in some neighborhoods you can see pictures that you don't at all expect to see in the capital of the country and gulf war i like this family alone picnics really very peaceful pictures so income flick has been raging for seventeen months already people say they're tired they are exhausted but they also. say that life must go on. from damascus in syria. and there is one of the very few remaining international correspondents that continue to report on the events from the heart of the conflict

there follow her on twitter to stay up to date on the developments in the syrian capital live coverage throughout the day via her feed it. under school party. and as the conflict in syria continues it seems the battleground has now taken an online dimension as r.t. reports in just a couple of minutes from now click and find lock n load instructional videos on the best way for syrian competence to kill their enemies gaining popularity on the internet stay with r.t. to learn who is behind the lethal lessons. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has blamed hezbollah for the terrorist attack on a bus carrying jewish tourists in bulgaria in which eight people died tel aviv has already accused iran of being behind it but since extended its blame list here's our course one of the air with more from israel. but no minutes on yahoo says that the fault because of this attack that happened on wednesday in the bulgarian city of burgas is clearly on the shoulders of hizbollah now that was attacked in which

eight people were killed six of them were israeli citizens one was a ball gary and bus driver and one was the suicide bomber himself netanyahu says that his bill that acts as the long term of iran in the region and while this is no secret certainly everybody here does know that hizbullah is a proxy for iran and the fact that in a time yahoo is not naming his below is only going to further stroke tensions in the region israeli prime minister also went on to say that it was no ned had attacked or been behind attacks on israelis in countries like thailand georgia greece and cyprus in the past not israel has tried to deal with his bill on the past but it has failed back in two thousand and six israel went to war with lebanon on over his below but by all accounts that was a war which israel lost at the time it was said that hizbullah a small army of fighters was able to take on the great israeli defense forces and

women it gave the arab world back its wide to some since israel has almost an say told school call it was his villa and that is why there is a lot of speculation whether or not by now naming his. who is going to try and use the bus bombing on the winds day as a pretext for perhaps attacking his fellow once again but the timing could not be worse you've gone to a region in flux you've got ongoing violence in neighboring syria you've got for the first time and islamize president in neighboring egypt but netanyahu is also known for often using the international concerns and the international community to do it to detract attention away from problems he has on the domestic front there is the real threat that you will see social protest is growing in number in the coming weeks we need to just remember that last year we saw social demonstrations in this country. it's all the largest number of his ratings on the streets and at the same time this week the largest israeli political party to demand the coalition of

netanyahu says that he has problems to deal with on the domestic front. britain's intelligence and security committee says the u.k. should play online criminals at their own game just two years after the launch of a multi-million cyber security program britain says it wants not only to defend its cyberspace but also to launch hacker attacks itself on his or smith reports if you can't beat him join them that seems to be britain's new attitude when it comes to dealing with cyber attacks a new report by the u.k.'s intelligence and security commission has concluded it's not enough to defend against cyber attacks additionally the military spy agencies should be actively declaring cyber war on enemy state attack evidently is in their view the best form of defense although in this case they're calling it active defense. they are voicing that britain should be secretly hacking into enemy

systems using programs like the stuxnet virus which disrupted iran nuclear enrichment program it comes just two years after the launch of a six hundred fifty million pounds national cybersecurity program but progress according to the m.p.'s on the committee has been slow the national security strategy ranks the threat of cyber attacks alongside that of terrorism and yet this committee of m.p.'s seems fully prepared to engage in it itself this despite the fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks are preventable three basic measures like using security software and proper passwords cyber attacks of course have another name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its fair share of hacking case is currently in the courts including

that of autism suffer a gary mckinnon he's been fighting his extradition to the us for hacking into the pentagon's computer system for ten years now so far his government has refused to protect him maybe if state sponsored hacking becomes the norm that will change. in london let's return to one of our top stories this hour concerning israel's prime minister who's blamed hezbollah and iran for the recent terrorist attack on a boulder in which eight jewish tourists were killed so talk with political analysts kummel wasn't he's a root just just a part of these accusations against iran and lebanon. i think there is no merit for this like was a shame because i think. it came with a statement yesterday denied whatsoever that they behind it and they said they want to take revenge against the leader of that was assassinated. one i'm

sorry about that. women i think we just lost you there kamel can you hear me now. yes i can hear you ok let's carry on we just lost a friend here yeah let's carry on yes i think there would be i think that has made it very clear that they're not going to use tourist in eastern europe to carry i'm not against israeli and i think the iranian made very clear statement they're against killing civilians whether it is an israeli or other people especially in the eastern european countries as well and i think israelis have their own problem they have their own. turn of political problem and i think that was the role of. blow and that is taking place in law but i think. mr netanyahu always tried to play the every and card that has been law card to remind

the international community that he has an enemy and it comes to the point because the nuclear file of your reign of the iranian always wanted to keep it on the spot light and give them some credit in his country but i think at this point the region is on fire and i think the last things therrien ian or hezbollah well take you know a shock value an israeli which they clearly said they will not target outside israel but we've seen those attacks on those nuclear scientists in iran which of course tehran blames on israel now we see those attacks could there be some sort of war going on between iran and israel behind the scenes as it were. i think i think my understanding assessment for the iranian ever they want to israeli they will have something like a military. establishment and they will not dock women and children and they can

tour eastern european country that's not the case of the iranian. and my understanding. but my and i israel's reaction then you talk about no military action from iran or hezbollah but israel's prime minister he's promised a strong reaction to what he called it roams attack and well what do you mean by that. well we have to wait and see what he mean by that but i don't think there's really a ready for war i don't think the region is ready for war i think there is a lot of tension and war is going some of the middle east i think it's the best. course of action for the israeli just to raise their rhetoric but not to carry out on their stride because they know that. the real war will be very costly for them they learn from their experience and two thousand and six and they know this war probably will bring. the spotlight where the hezbollah they are rainy and this

bring a regional war i don't think the for obama one that this war especially his running for election nobody wanted to see the price of oil is going up above two hundred where you have europe is collapsing economically and the united states go in and such and i think it's merely rhetoric and i wouldn't put a lot of money on what netanyahu will say and he's very good at what he does using this propaganda to gain popularity inside of israel but i don't think anybody believes that they are really in our hezbollah behind what happened in this against civilian israeli been reading some media reports suggesting that. is an algerian swedish jihadist he spent two years in detention in guantanamo those the allegations we're reading in the media how likely is that wouldn't a man with such a profile of that be under some form of surveillance. i think that's probably the

case i read some statement there was a he had some ideas from like from america and they'd probably be they have actually they had their video of the man. and if they know hardly it was like uranium i think that will be different but i think it could be anybody. associated with. a group that associated with al qaeda. operation i am not sure but it's not doesn't carry the mark of the iranian i think the i think it has preparing something really big for their israeli one that. is right i think this one the time is right that would be the beginning of a larger war between hezbollah and the israeli but it hasn't come at this juncture . prediction kummel thank you very much indeed for your thoughts political analyst

coming live from beirut. let's have a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world. egypt's former spy chief president omar suleiman has died aged seventy six in the u.s. he was reportedly undergoing medical tests at a hospital in cleveland when his condition took a sudden turn for the worse the cause of his death is yet to be announced confidence of egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak he was due to run for the country's presidency how did this year was disqualified from the race. a senior security officer colonel abdullah has been killed in a car blast in yemen's port city of aden this is the latest in a series of high profile assassinations in the country's volatile southern region most of the attacks have been blamed on al qaeda linked militant groups which seized power in the region during last year's popular uprising against the former president ali abdullah sunday. also in world update this hour

the german parliament approved a one hundred billion euro rescue package for the spanish banking sector the decision was driven by chancellor angela merkel despite critics warning that the euro zone risks contagion from spain's weak bank details of the package are expected to be agreed during a conference call of eurozone finance ministers on friday. twenty ten and then form the two fundamental reasons people use the internet however when the web is being used to influence a conflict that has already taken thousands of lives in syria alarm bells start to ring first looks into exactly who is driving the trend of deadly online training videos. just a click away and the internet is full of these video training guys that are providing dangerous tips that kids see cyber war is taken from their computer screens and given the practical skills to kill the many of these videos that have emerged in the last year or so aimed at the syrian opposition and the syrian rebel

forces that are fighting against the syrian regime in the country at the moment but they're easily accessible you have a huge number of views on the chief sites where these videos are going up and big questions about the regulation of these videos about why they're allowed to stay out for so long now many of these videos was aimed at the syrian opposition aren't actually made in syria itself it's not many of them originating from other countries including a lot of them coming from the u.s. and of course that again raises questions about the u.s. is involvement in this type of cyber warfare of course many other countries and many other governments also stand accused of participating in this type of cyber warfare but there are big concerns because over the last couple of years certainly countries like the u.s. and the have identified as one of the main threats in this war on terror is being

the lone wolves people who are sat in the privacy of their own home and able to access information that trains and to be able to carry out an attack and say videos like this are of course deeply disturbing was this a verse of know how might be aimed at the people fighting inside syria right now of course is just a click away for anyone who wants to log on and have a look and that raises very very serious questions and has terrifying implications he's reach is far beyond the syrian conflicts. step dated on all of the news by heading to r.t. dot com here are some of the stories that we've lined up for you there something explosion rocked russia's republic of tatarstan targeting a top local cleric. also online an argument turns into a fight as workers clash with managers at an indian suzuki plant find out what caused the violence of auntie dot com. also then went on a moment comes to wiki leaks rescue is the infamous whistle blowing site teeters on

the brink of financial collapse all that and plenty more dot com. the green revolution in india opened a new market for international agricultural giants however government efforts to increase crop yields by adopting modern chemicals forced dozens of farmers to return to their roots. i mean she's sharma is part of a movement of tens of thousands of farmers in india breadbasket turning back to their traditions in organic farming. by adopting organic farming we are not dependent on anyone we don't have to buy anything from the market as we're self-sufficient. but it wasn't always that way millions of farmers in india got

hooked on chemicals and pesticides during the so-called green revolution a time in the one nine hundred sixty s. when the indian government began importing hybrid seeds to increase crop yields after a major famine this opened the door for several foreign agricultural corporations to sell into this new market the increase in expensive chemicals also brought about a new dependence that buried farmers deep in debt i even forcing some to suicide money is going to the book itself multi-nation of not put into poker so the problems. are. almost like you would notice the problem of the images that only. the. farmers like sharma also noticed that while he had an initial spike in crop yield ultimately his soil was so depleted of its natural nutrients it became infertile

and the incidence of cancer due to chemicals in the communities drinking water increased significantly in the years since the green revolution more farmers here in punjab are starting to reclaim their land and stopping the use of chemicals here they say they're not only lowering production costs by keeping their land more sustainable for future generations farmers say they are able to make more money and spend the last without using any chemical pesticides and fertilizers and seeds if that are going to be that the but i don't know got it forming we can conserve the environment and also wildlife that will be beneficial for the next generation. reassure either r t through india. time to join you in the business just now to see how investors are reacting to the bailout vote for spraying. absolutely we're saying optimism to bill in response to the packet. for struggling you know
