news from russia and around the world this is us he with me you know chicago our thanks for joining us russia has criticized the new u.n. resolution on syria as one sided and supportive all the armed opposition moscow says the non-binding motion passed have been general assembly does nothing to ease the conflict this comes after the u.n. envoy to syria kofi annan announced that he was stepping down casting doubts over the future of the peace effort and 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 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
2:02 am
resolution is not helpful and that the country supplying weapons to the opposition are well known to 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 helping you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the and it undermines the syrian led crucial 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. and form this government to hold new elections however the
2:03 am
idea 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 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. resolution and the countries that promoted it blinded by hate towards our side while failing to see the dangers of supporting the rebels 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 the sides 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 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 there are jihadi elements there are a lot of people who the west would not like to be business with their stuff into this mentality that they're drawn to help anyone get into power they drove a sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad's assad has

2:06 am
conflict something that the overwhelming majority of syrians desperately need in the beginning of his term will be how the number of meetings with both president bashar al assad and prominent members of syrian opposition but he didn't succeed in bringing these two warring parties to the negotiating table most recently he has asked for is focused on trying to bridge the divides the day in the international community especially within the u.n. security council but he wasn't that much successful on that front either now as far as u.n. monitors on the ground are concerned they still continue the done mission the only thing they can really do in the current circumstances is to try to go to the areas affected by the violence talking to the people trying to document the destruction mandate is expiring in two weeks and with an answer resignation it looks like the chances of a renewal of that mandate god only slimmer as far as russia is concerned this is
