you are on board to syria says his quitting with coffee and non blaming the international community is very good to unite to find a peaceful solution to the crisis. while the mainstream western media coverage of the conflict has brought accusations of bias from some in syria as rebel atrocities go largely unreported. and the trial of members of a women's hundred behind her anti-government stunt in moscow's main orthodox cathedral continues with the controversy bringing division that's the cold case that everyone seems to have an opinion on both here in russia and broaden the latest to weigh in with their view has been president vladimir putin to join me in a few moments roll the latest on this ongoing case.

hello and welcome to our twenty four hour news live from moscow our top story now the u.n. and the arab league are looking for a new joint and boy to syria after kofi annan said he'll step down at the end of the month the diplomat blamed a lack of consensus at the u.n. for the shortcomings of his peace plan for syria where violence is escalating and the situation has the latest from new york for us. this was a job that most called a diplomatic mission impossible from the get go firstly of course because of the intricacies of the conflict on the ground but also because of the conflicting positions of the key players at the united nations security council and now with one month to go before. the job is officially over we're already seeing reactions from the international community that some could call predictable russia for one has said that the resignation is regrettable other countries have said this as well

we are seeing many countries in the west already back to singing the old tune of regime change something that russia and china have vetoed repeatedly at the united nations security council we're hearing the united states begin the finger pointing again saying that the resignation is actually a sign and underlines russia's and china's failure in the syrian process the west overall is back to calling for assad to step down a stance that was taken off the kofi anon six steps peace plan russia never supported regime change in syria it reiterates that the gist of the problem remains the same that the key players are continuing to separate words from deeds because on paper we're seeing seemingly the international community calling for peace talks and for a peaceful resolution to the crisis yet that is not so much the case in reality take a listen to those who insist that. we should be terminated they do not want this do

not want this objective information and they have some other things in mind rather than stopping the weapons and the political accommodation russia has also said that if the international community is interested in a peaceful process in syria you one observers are very useful on the ground but we did hear from the french ambassador who is currently holding the rotating presidency of the security council that the you want to serve his mission will and on august nineteenth and for now with one month to go kofi annan. said to leave behind his six step peace plan which for now has proven to be ineffective the peace plan called of course for a transition government to be formed in syria including both sides of the conflict this of course has not been the case we do know that the united nations security council and the united nations general assembly will be focusing on the syrian crisis for the rest of the week and we know that ban ki moon is currently in talks with the arab league to determine kofi annan successor the main battle for syria's

largest city is apparently about to begin that's according to the u r a letter has seen heavy fighting between government and rebel forces over the last week but signs that pulling fresh reinforcements to the front line the struggle to seize the initiative rebels are reportedly receiving a growing flow weapons from neighboring turkey through a secret transit hub and revelations and the u.s. media claim the white house has also rise to more cover support for anti assad forces despite their links to al qaida author and historian gerald ford says america's repeating past mistakes by stoking extremism in syria. it's well known that washington basically has perfected the idea of a two trucks foreign policy that is to say on the one hand you can smile when the other hand and mike in the back that's basically what's happening in syria all this blather about negotiations with the regime but you don't want that either they

would like to see regime change although as usual i don't think washington has what the consequences there is to say that there is a real danger that al-qaeda like forces will be coming to power sooner rather than later in the past and then washington will be faced with a replay of what engineer in afghanistan where the engineer of the coming to power of the taliban which opened the door to gain influence there which led to the tragedy of september eleventh two thousand and one. coming your way later this hour coverage uncut point down why some syrians have slandered mainstream western media reports from the conflict zone. and spanish police arrested three suspected al qaeda operatives were believed to links to terrorism not in bomb attacks in europe. that's later but now the defense in the trial of members of the pursue right female punk group is due to present its side over an anti government

stunt in the capitals a main cathedral in february charged with hooliganism motivated by really just hatred or hostility the three accused could face up to seven years jail if convicted or to speak to all of the has the details. all goes back to the incident that took place in moscow's main cathedral in february of this year when the punk rock collective known as pussy riot performed what they called a punk rock prayer a protest song against the current government here in russia now that provoked a pretty harsh reaction pretty extreme reaction from from some elements here in the country really of a polarizing incident this happened in one of the most religious sites in the country of course now the trial of these three women who are accused of being part of the group is in day five at the moment we're going to hear from the defense later on as they put forward their case we're also hearing that there is a possibility that we could hear a verdict a little later on that's

a slim chance if they are convicted these three women. charged with hooliganism they could face up to seven years in prison on one side you really have groups that are related or close to the old church who have been damning and their criticism of pussy riot and of these three particular with an accusing them of blasphemy and calling for the stiffest punishments that are available to be brought down upon them however there are others that are saying that these women have been unfairly treated that they were held in prison for they are awaiting trial for far too long there also they are saying that they are an artistic right to be able to to perform in the way in which they did now it's not just here in russia that we've heard the sentiments being echoed there's a lot of support from the music industry as a whole both here in russia broad artists like staying on to me kate is from the red hot chili peppers was playing in a performance in moscow wearing a pussy riot t.

shirts are the latest to weigh in with his opinion is being president vladimir putin no he said although what happened in the church was wrong in his opinion that these three women shouldn't be judged too harshly just based on the circumstances regarding where this incident took place. so i hope the court will rule with a just decision if the band let's say defiled a sacred place in israel they would have to cope with some tough guys there are many of them would face difficulties from attempting to leave the country was ready for example they went to the caucuses and defaced a muslim shrine security wouldn't have enough time to protect them from public anger nevertheless i don't think we should judge them too strictly whenever i hope they've made some important conclusions themselves anyway the final decision rests with the court and we're going to get it all day five of the trial is currently under way and i'll be bringing you live reports from outside the courtroom as soon as we get all the latest news. spanish authorities claim to have completed

a major operation against al qaida they've seized three suspects in the south of the country who are being questioned over the planning of a tux in europe including one on a drawing to a u.s. spanish naval base two of the men are being investigated for links to terror plots in russia's restive republic of china. the police in spain have arrested three suspected members of all carter who they say had amassed explosives and were plotting attacks in europe that's according to the spanish interior ministry of the also said they found enough explosives to quote destroy boss and he also said that these three men had received training in camps in places like afghanistan and pakistan now one of the men was arrested on his own they say that he is from turkey and that he's considered the facilitator in this group now the two other men were arrested together while they were planning to make their way to france so these two men were said to have lived in chechnya and as we know which is part of russia's volatile region of the north caucasus which over the years have see the waves of

violent attacks now according to officials these attacks have had had the links to al qaida and the men would masterminded them and also received training in places like afghanistan and pakistan now as far as europe is concerned and they've been on high alert for some time now ever since the attacks the nine eleven attacks and the united states spain in particular has arrested dozens of suspected al qaida members over the years and even more so after the two thousand and four train bombing in madrid now they say that these three men be arrested today had been under monitoring a by the authorities for some time now and we can see that and we can expect that authorities here in europe will definitely be an even higher alert after the arrests that were made today. the mother of we can make said it's a jewel and assume she was alone being a door to grant him asylum says he should think it is his son could face execution if he is extradited to the united states christine. i could always lead to only one
