joining us first russia has criticized the new u.n. resolution on syria as one sided and supportive of the armed opposition the non-binding motion was passed out of the general assembly by an overwhelming work and carries no threat of action it comes out of the un envoy to syria a coffin announced he was stepping down causing doubts over the future hold that peace effort and if the situation has more from new york. this resolution apart from condemning the security council for failing to move the syrian peace process forward also condemns the syrian government for failing to stop using heavy weaponry as well as condemns the syrian government from now for not withdrawing from civilian areas among the ones that voted against this text was of course russia russia believes that the behind the humanitarian facade of this resolution lies the militarization of the opposition and russia says this resolution is not
12:02 am
helpful and that the countries supplying weapons to the opposition are well known take a listen it is a this resolution exacerbates the confrontations and solving the syrian crisis it's not helping the sides enter into dialogue find peaceful ways to solve the crisis in the interests of syrian people this resolution is not how can you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the and it undermines the syrian led crusaders for a political resolution. russia believes that this particular text is one sided and balanced as well as the whole idea of pushing the syrian government of stepping down is really an intervention into sovereign affairs six point peace plan remains on the table as coffin and steps out of the picture this plan of course called for the creation of the transitional government in syria the idea was to have both sides of the conflict. form this government to hold new elections however the idea
12:03 am
of where exactly this would leave assad was left open and now with countries continuing to push for him stepping down it's unclear what's going to happen to the plan and we do know that the moon is currently in the process of speaking with the arab league trying to find a successor for kofi annan we're going to have to wait and see who that person is going to be and how that person will handle this particular crisis and of course we also have the you want to serve a mission expiring on august twentieth unclear whether or not it will be extended we will have to wait and see we certainly know that this is something that russia is strongly rooting for. and journalist patrick hayes believes the u.n. motion and ongoing foreign interference are actually aimed at keeping the conflict . i think in general it's being used to try and step up the pressure on both russia and china to start to take a stand against assad's and effectively what it's doing is saying that we disrespect the sovereignty of syria and we don't want the syrian people to determine their own future as william hague suggested he's going to offer
12:04 am
non-lethal aid he hasn't given specific details of this yet but it does seem like it's going to be intelligence it does seem like there's going to be an awful lot of support announced for the rebels over the next few weeks and of course this comes just after president obama has announced well it hasn't been announced but it has been revealed that there has been a secret plan basically allow the cia to assist the rebels as well the thing i find very striking about this is that there's a real historical amnesia that's taking place among western leaders where they don't really know who the opposition is there are a lot of concerns about the makeup of it though there are jihadi elements there are a lot of people who the west would not like to be business with but they're stuck into this mentality that they're drawn to help anyone get into power their driver sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad assad has become this bogeyman just like their feet before him and they just see we need to get rid of him and everything will be ok it's a naive approach that will do no hope no help at all. more than one hundred people

12:19 am
think that was disappointing maybe we would have started something in the u.s. had we gotten. my visa but then you know it doesn't matter experts say it's no coincidence that the rising rejection rates occurred as america's economy tanked but acting on the perceived fear that immigrants were taking american jobs has had the opposite effect it's unfortunate if denials are being made that are justified because what happens if it ends up being an incentive to u.s. companies to locate more resources outside the country in some ways in ways that might. well u.s. immigration authorities have increased the rejection rate of temporary work visas for citizens of all countries india has been the hardest hit just last year a lot of in percent of indian applicants for a certain type of temporary work were rejected while only around rebirth of

applicants from countries like germany and the u.k. were rejected for the same type of temporary work visas. the other sting in the tail for the states is that by turfing out skilled foreigners it's missing out on big bucks opportunities that were forged in america's colleges i don't think we would be as effective entrepreneurs here had we not spend a dime in the us they don't think that the time i spend can call. really helped us in building the company we've been able to snapdeal now turns over one hundred million dollars a year the kind of innovation that indian immigrants have long been known for in the united states we found recently that. about half of the top fifty venture funded companies i mean to companies that were started with venture capital had at least one immigrant founder so what we found is that if you keep people out you'll get less job creation and less innovation in the united states

12:22 am
these numbers that they just pull out magically from thin air what they want but those numbers of the pool magically into thin air are the collateral that backs derivatives the derivatives that we know definitively are backed by magical thinking they themselves are algorithmic bots that are referencing each other and now it's going to be informed by magical thinking magical thinking informs a lot more rate magical thinking informs the newstand rating system we now know is completely rigged so the rigged market is part of the trifecta of fraud media wall street and washington they're all rigged they're rigged together. twenty five years ago the u.s. congress held its final hearing into the iran contra affair one of its biggest scandals in modern american politics that was a secret arrangement to provide funds to nicaragua and rebels from profits accumulated by selling arms to iran in the one nine hundred eighty s. and next our very own resident in new york went to find out what the people
12:23 am
remember anything about it. western media would have you believe that iran is some sort of evil enemy so do they not remember their run contra scandal of one thousand nine hundred sixty this week let's talk about that have you ever heard of the iran contra scandal. sorry no i haven't. you have a nice day no i have not heard. something big he know yes yes the member it was about what was it about you remember. nuclear weapons i believe iran is but the army going in and trying to do for the oil is and it was about all over north was taking the funds from selling arms to iran to use to fund the contras.
12:24 am
in nicaragua you got it and now we make iran out to be the bad guy but here we were exchanging arms with them why do you think the world is ok with that well because america is a hypocrisy do you think that the world knows that this is a hypothesis the. i guess we know a little bit about it but sometimes i find us to be very naive and we are not really enough to wear over everything that's going on out there they were in a war with iraq so you know we were we thought that they were they were the good relative good. in iraq was the you know the bad guys you know it's just the whole it's ridiculous if we change our definition of of who's good and who's bad to suit our needs whenever doesn't that kind of make good and bad relative and meaningless absolutely it's almost thirty years ago so there in thirty years someone can go from being an ally to an enemy well unfortunately that happens yeah so we should
12:25 am
probably be more careful with whom we give arms to that is a very good. savation but then again you never know which side of the regime you fall on when you support something and one of the issues of u.s. foreign policy is they've always picked sides which they did in vietnam they did it in other places sometimes they were successful sometimes they weren't whether or not people remember the iran contra scandal but the bottom line is the media certainly seems to have a selective memory that suits what every month that they'd like to promote. and plenty more still to come up this hour including our course update which of course will bring you the latest from london and the unit is here good morning to you so let's have a quick chat with you in our sport studio to check out also ahead and it looks like there's plenty to celebrate fourteen russia following day seven of the olympics yeah certainly not a bad way to finish off the week plenty of silverware coming in thick and fast
