you're watching archie or just in time for a recap of our headlines hundreds of n.t.l. start to protesters gather in madrid just a day after a nationwide demonstrations against even postcards the outpouring of anger was sparked by prime minister poison announcement that an additional sixty five billion euros would be slashed from the budget. syria is engulfed in violence with fierce battles raging across the country between government forces and rebel fighters reports claim july has been the bloodiest month of the conflict so far this as a u.n. security council agreed to extend the observers mission to the country by thirty

days. lotsa trigger happy tourism a new attraction for visitors to israel spots fears it provokes a negative perception of the country couldn't say it's a cashing in on the country's travel security situation. and up next in an exclusive interview with our team we spoke to russia's ambassador to the u. when we tell the truth keane explains why he held his hand in a no vote for an earlier western backed resolution on syria. russia and china have vetoed the latest western backed draft resolution on syria at the u.n. security council and joining us live now is one of the many raised his hand in that no though it was his envoy to the world body of attorney chicken mr churkin russia's decision to veto this latest resolution has caused consternation and widespread criticism of moscow's stance is russia supporting the assad regime.

of course not about what needs to be done in order to settle the crisis unfortunately the strategy of our western colleagues too seems to be to try to whip up down in and around syria at every opportunity and this time they took the occasion of the need to extend the mandate of the monitoring mission in syria and a number of unacceptable clauses to their draft resolution so we need to talk together was unacceptable draft to allow kofi annan more space to work on the document which was adopted the. foreign minister of countries of the so-called action group which is that which calls for setting up a transitional national body and that requires of course dialogue between various parties so in this context to introduce

a resolution which would only imperil pressure and almost inevitable sanctions on the syrian government did not look like a good idea to us at all and there were blocked a decision which in our view was gone the but counterproductive so moscow not supporting the assad regime but america britain and france say that russia has failed the syrian people today how how do you react to that. well you know there are quite good and bad. propaganda i think what they have been doing in criticizing russia and china and some sometimes quite stridently today it was the british and the french. who went out of their way unfortunately all sorts of false false holds on the foreign policies of russia and china they should focus more. on the new do to help or fan and unfortunately they haven't done anything at all in order to set them train a productive positive process in syria instead they have been working. with

the so-called friends of syria in fact the. this is a group of countries who are enemies of the syrian government i wouldn't call them enemies of the syrian people but certainly those who want to topple the syrian government this is regarding the consequences which are extremely tragic which. entails because the government or president our side it's not simply one individual or a group of individuals they represent of course a certain segment of the of the syrian population a certain power structure which has existed there for decades so to break it would cause and is causing trying to break that considerable trouble and bloodshed to reform and through dialogue this would be much more reasonable a line of action and this is what russia has been advocated dialogue hasn't achieved anything so far is that now an overwhelming global sentence is something has to be done to stop the killing of innocent people and what about intervention

on humanitarian grounds is that it acceptable to moscow moscow is very concerned about chapter seven i don't want to get into technical to see it chapter seven leading to perhaps military intervention but what about some form of intervention to stop the killing. well in a way the money group which. have been paying is a way of of a sort of political intervention in trying to a practical intervention and trying to deter while and some fortunately it hasn't happened it hasn't been successful i mean you said the dialogue has not achieved anything the problem is that the dialogue has not started yet the opposition groups refuse to enter into dialogue where they sit with a syrian government which says it is prepared for dialogue they should try that all four of the syrian government to enter into dialogue this is a major mason missing link a major impediment in the way of coffee and an activity you know humanitarian

intervention unfortunately it only sounds humane but the fact of the matter is that any military intervention for whatever reason is inevitably going to cause more bloodshed bloodshed and you know we know that those great discriminants in the world u.s. and u.k. intervened in iraq for instance citing all sorts of noble protects in that particular case nonexistent weapons of mass destruction what of course there is a one hundred fifty thousand civilian deaths alone to say nothing of you know millions of refugees displaced persons and the whole dislocation in the country so don't be duped by committee in the humint in communitarian rhetoric there is much more geopolitics in their policy in syria than of humanism and unfortunately the practical consequences of of the of their policy is that that the conflict and bloodshed is not abating you mention geopolitics and understand that you mention the fact that what's happening in syria is actually

a name don't what's going to happen in iran eventually can you explain that that iran is the eventual goal i don't know why. i did refer to iran but in a slightly different context i wouldn't rule out that then they will move or move on to. i was not referring to that i was in my remarks of the stakeout earlier today in the united nations i was referring to their clear interest and this is a major motivation of the policy and their effort to topple president assad in curbing iranian influence. in the middle east in that region and it's also a major motivation of the other middle eastern the fight there is for the marcos' saudi arabi and qatar who are concerned about what they see iranian interests of course in bahrain as well they claim that the shia approach as there is a sort of iranian sponsored even though some observers including your colleagues

journalists who have experience on the ground believe that it happens to be genuine protest. against a system which is not entirely democratic to put it mildly so clear a geo political dimension is there in the policies of a number of countries who are extremely aggressive these are the syria and it is nothing to do with the interests of the syrian people because a cowardly sealskin who need is to find yes can i ask you though what is the worry for moscow will these geo political implications which explains clearly why it is more we are not it will not in what way could moscow be affected will not what are the about. well we're not what are the geopolitical implications of sort of that particular saying even though we believe that the greater confrontation with iran is hurting. is unnecessary and of course we are directly involved in efforts to

resolve peacefully the problem of the iranian nuclear program and the. growing tension between iran and the west and. it is it is not it's not it's not helpful our concern is that this city and people have to suffer the consequences of this geopolitical geopolitical struggle and our concern is that the focus of everybody's policy must be the benefit of the syrian people and the only way they can put an end to this tragic conflict is to get to the negotiating table and the ground there is a document which you which was a consensus document adopted by the group of action foreign ministers in geneva two and a half weeks ago which says that at the incisional national border needs to set up a bit to be set up and it cannot be set up by the by sanctions it cannot be set up by more pressure on just one side of the syrian government which is claiming that it is ready for the locals there's a need that it's representative for such

a dialogue but so far the interest from the opposition is not there and we see extreme opposition groups are in the position groups resorting to more and more violence and even terrorist attacks like the one we saw yesterday in the masters this is not to say. the syrian government has not exhorter it has not resorted to excessive violence of the times or made very serious mistakes and blunders over the months but the time to end that unless we wanted to continue for years is to enter into dialogue. russia has really stuck by its principles of intervention is it not there. in danger of being isolated bearing in mind the continual vetoing of the sanctions in the un security council and of course the supplying of military hardware to syria all the most of course says that this is not being used against civilians but this what's it do for russia's reputation and indeed its relations

after this crisis is over. well we'll see we'll see i think doing the right thing and not simply following somebody is a. catastrophic policy is something which makes makes me proud is something which eventually will be borne out of the right course of action on the right policy. under these very difficult circumstances and. if i'm not mistaken the united states has cost sixty vetoes on the palestinian issue alone so why don't you. question my american colleagues about the impact of the image of the united states in the middle east of the continuous middle sometimes even between their own presidential and secretary of state public statements so you know veto is a part of the u.n. charter there is nothing wrong about casting it when you feel the need to do so

when we talk about what happens next now no agreement in the u.n. security council but russia has said that it would like to see an extension of the u.n. observer mission to syria but at the moment is a visible impact so far what is the point in keeping the mission alive when so far it's failed. what do what would be the point of the other party was saying that at least we have a more chance to get objective information if it's there or if the situation we have to improve there will be on the ground already so they will be able to participate more actively in the in the political process and also the in dealing with a humanitarian situation so pulling the model. is going to entail negative consequences and one to avoid that unfortunately now here on we seem to be undergoing another sort of a little diplomatic battle now we're going to have a discussion of making it the technical role without loading it with political conditions and implications thank you very much indeed we will leave it there
