the machine would be so much brighter if you knew about some from phones to impressions. he starts on t.v. dot com. russia and china deliver a double veto at the security council of the united nations as western countries tried to pass sanctions against syria more details from new york straight ahead. also this israel's prime minister extends his blame list in lebanon saying both iran and hezbollah were behind the deadly blast in belgariad. and british intelligence points far with far with the country's security committee calling for the use of cyber warfare to tackle on line criminals.
3:01 pm
live from the new center here in the russian capital this is r t with twenty four hours a day the u.s. and its allies have failed to push an anti assad resolution through the u.n. security council for the third time russia and china have once again vetoed the motion to point nine has the latest for us now from new york. many people would say it's about time the international community stood together and did something about syria so what is moscow's reasoning for blocking yet another draft resolution. well the reasoning is simple russia has said for from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would include the potential of sanctions being imposed or even military intervention this western backed resolution that was drafted by the u.k. called on damascus to immediately seize any kind of fighting and the use of
3:02 pm
heavy weapons and withdraw from populated centers and the resolution gave the syrian government ten days to comply with those demands otherwise sanctions would be imposed. what was attached to that dilution is a forty five day extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria so that is quite clear why russia would not give its support to this western backed resolution because it was putting all the pressure and consequence on the syrian government and not putting any pressure consequence on the armed opposition that are part that's participating in the violence in syria that has been increasing as we've seen over the past seventeen months now the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the media saying that there is still time for the security council to reach a consensus but he said that russia would not support any moves or pass for
3:03 pm
military intervention into syria and he also warned western countries may be trying to destabilize syria to possibly of move further in and around iran. constable making a note of elations to you there is no person to. have any adult about it that the major job political battle is. being fooled on the fields of sudan which has nothing to do with the interests of the syrian people. now russia and china both vetoed this western backed resolution we should mention that south africa and pakistan also abstained from voting making the same argument that russia has made that the solution presented by the western countries and supported by them was very unbalanced and only putting pressure on the syrian government. well with the u.n. observer mission to syria set to expire very shortly on friday is that still time
3:04 pm
to salvage the. well i think are that it will clearly that the clock is ticking because if this mandate expires and it is not renewed then that means that the united nations would not have any force in syria that is verifying what is taking place on the ground what you came back to the u.n. said is that they have drafted britain has drafted a new resolution that will over the u.n. mission in syria for a final thirty days and that is something which the security council is considering right now in talking about behind closed doors but according to churkin there are still very many questions surrounding this new drama that has been proposed by britain. the british draft is in many ways. because it is only going to i'm going to show that the first but i'm going to says that it's the final extension of thirty days and the second paragraph says that the
3:05 pm
mission can be extended provided certain conditions are being me. now the u.s. ambassador to the to the u.n. susan rice said that washington will not support an expansion of the mission without consequences being imposed on the syrian government if the syrian government does not live up to its responsibilities under the six point peace plan put forth by kofi annan so essentially what the u.s. is doing is tying this observer mission to consequences that should be put upon the syrian government in many argue that's very dangerous because it's two separate issues and the united nations at the end of the day does need a mission on the ground because if that mission is removed then the situation in syria can get worse without any objective reporting that's tied to the u.n. thanks very much indeed. with the latest from new york. and activists on
3:06 pm
my walker spoke to him a little earlier not he says that today's united nations vote could pave the way for you to natural action from western nations the draft resolution that was proposed by the west by britain and the united states. was expected to feel. delusions to the russians and the chinese. veto so they obviously have something in mind. all enough. in the security council and it's all not going anywhere so we are going to see other measures and this open. public opinion fool. from the states in the sea from the syrian people through which would definitely be to a lot more blood being spilled suitor. and staying with the syrian crisis some of the bloodiest of the conflict that's how both the government and rebels dubbed the
3:07 pm
period following yesterday's deadly bombing in damascus the attack wiped out three senior members of assad's government including the defense minister heavy clashes across the country followed killing over one hundred fifty people according to reports the free syrian army have seized a border crossing on the country's northern front. which was in iraq are also saying that rebels have gained control of iraq and syria border points meanwhile syrian t.v. has counted speculation over president assad's health and whereabouts by showing the leader welcoming the newly appointed defense minister in damascus a correspondent is in the capital. the news about blasts 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 a 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
3:08 pm
oldest continuously inhabited capitals in the world but also firing 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 city's troubled areas where the clashes between the rebels and the army still continue and the names of these neighborhoods are very well known to everybody here might have began. no you to my derm it's too dangerous
3:09 pm
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 a country and gulf war i like this family alone picnics really very peaceful pictures so one can flick has been raging for seventeen months already people say they're tired they are exhausted but they all. say that life must go on. from damascus and 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 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. and as the
3:10 pm
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 and find more and a load instructional videos on the best way for syrian competence to kill their enemies or gaining popularity on the internet stay with r.t. to learn who is behind these lethal lessons. but first israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has blamed has been after the terrorist attack on a bus carrying jewish tourists in bulgaria in which seven people died to give his already accused iran of being behind the attack but have since extended its blame list meanwhile media reports identified the suicide bomber as an algerian swedish jihadist who spent two years in detention in guantanamo is a correspondent with more now 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 netanyahu says that his bill that
3:11 pm
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 the fact that in a time yahoo is not naming his below is only going to through the 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 georgio greece and cyprus in the past not israel has tried to deal with has been 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 so to some since israel has almost an say told school call it was his villa and that is why there's
3:12 pm
a lot of speculation whether or not by now naming his villa this one yahoo 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 islamised 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. the ruling coalition of netanyahu says that he has problems to deal with on the domestic front. political analyst couple was in the i spoke to him a little earlier he believes that if iran or has been did decide to attack israel
3:13 pm
they would do so openly and using military force has made it very clear that they are 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's an israeli or other people especially and the eastern european countries mr netanyahu always tried to play the every card that has been carved out of mind and i'm not one community that he has and i mean and it comes to the point because the nuclear file of a rainy and always wanted to keep it on the spotlight and give him some credit in his country but i think this. region is on fire and i think the last thing. you know a shock value an israeli which they clearly said they will not get my understanding
3:14 pm
or there were any and everything one that. really it will not something like a military. establishment and they will not dock women and children and they can tour in eastern european country that's not the case of the iranian or hezbollah. 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 multimillion cyber security program britain says it wants not only to defend its cyberspace but also to carry out hacker attacks itself what is your smith reports. if you can't be to 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 voyage it sees should be actively declaring cyber war an enemy states attack evidently is in
3:15 pm
their view the best form of defense although in this case they're calling it active defense. there 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 programme 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 itself this despite the fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks are preventable basic measures like using security software and
3:16 pm
proper password sober attacks of course have another name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its first cases currently in the courts including that of autism stuff for gary mckinnon he's been voicing his extradition to the us for having 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. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this egypt's former spy chief from vice president omar suleiman has died at age seventy six in the u.s. he was reportedly undergoing medical tests at a hospital in cleveland when his condition took a turn for the worst the cause of his death is yet to be announced confident in. egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak he was due to run for the country's president this year but was disqualified from the race or.

3:19 pm
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 them to be able to carry out an attack and say videos like this are of course deeply disturbing was the subversive 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 conflict. well step they did
