national news live from moscow this is ass he with me yes thanks for joining us russia has criticized the new u.n. resolution on syria as one sided and supportive of the armed opposition moscow says the norm binding motion passed of the general assembly does nothing to ease the conflict there's comes after the un envoy to syria coffee and none announced who is stepping down casting doubts over the future of the peace effort honest 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 condemning 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 resolution is not helpful and that the country

supplying weapons to the opposition are well known take a listen it is a this resolution exacerbates the confrontations in 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 you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the and it undermines the syrian led crucis from 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

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 ban ki 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 pungent haze believes the countries that promoted the latest u.n. resolution are 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 only for late 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 what your position is there are a lot of concerns about the makeup of it if there is you have elements there are a lot of people who the west would not want to be dismissed stuffed into this mentality that they draw to help anyone get into power there drove a sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad's assad has become this bogeyman just like a duck it before him and they just see we need to get rid of him and everything

will be ok it's a naive approach that would you know hope but still more than one hundred people have reportedly been killed in syria over the past twenty four hours alone as the battle for aleppo escalates and conscience take place across the country would be you an observer mission set to expire and the looming departure of continents peace mediator there's growing concern the prospects for a diplomatic solution are phasing out the latest round of. decision to resign as un special envoy for syria was mathis disappointment and almost despair in this country it confirms what many people felt all along that the situation in that country is only getting worse the death toll continues to rise and violence spreads to you new areas so seeing kofi annan throwing in the towel certainly doesn't instill much confidence in the quick resolution of this bloody conflict something that the overwhelming majority of syrians desperately need in the

beginning of his term he held a 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's asked for is focused on trying to bridge the divides within 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 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 good people trying to document the destruction mandate is expiring in two weeks and with analysts resignation it looks like the chances of a renewal of that mandate only slim or as far as russia is concerned this is definitely a negative development law school was

a very strong supporter of annan six point plan from big afro and in reaction to the resignation of russia's deputy foreign minister going to go to a road on his twitter page that was an honest broker but that there were only spiders who tried to get him out of the game to unite hands before i quote forced action now. when we are told the security. the ground things on our block drive. the clashes in syria largest city of aleppo still continue and here in damascus after a relative after a week of protocol the c.q. was once again rocked by a series of explosions so despite enormous demand for some sort of peace settlement violence here in syria still continues and you can always follow up on the stories that call mandible plenty more in store for you there including. was russia gripped

unhappy with the prime minister's work down to government rallies are nothing new for israel with a protest mood has been on the rise in recent months and i'm broke people have even taken things to big streams setting themselves on fire but critics say the government keeps sticking to its gun by pursuing regional political goals and sending the money far from where it's needed policy explained. in the middle of the west bank on land palestinians and the international community claim is not there is fifty israeli families live in a small outpost which government money has helped pay for. of course the government has invested a lot here just as it did with other settlements but we don't know the reason for the social protests if people find it hard and expensive to live in cities should not point fingers at settlers but fingers are pointing and calculations made the cost of constructing settlements during the years was close to

nineteen billion dollars and it includes investment in infrastructure like housing like electricity like energy like. also roads like water about fifty percent off the battered. settlements are financed or subsidized by government or activities the supreme court ruled this apo steamie grant was illegal and has given status here until august the twenty first to move out either way israeli taxpayers foot the bill this is where the settlers will be moved to the israeli government to spend more than four million dollars building the site that translates into some eighty thousand dollars per family the state budget is a cake. if you take one piece for this there is much less live for the other there is one place where the government has already has enough money for anything

and this is in the occupied territories for the second month. and this is why israeli taxpayers are saying enough is enough for a second straight summer protest some around the country's largest cities but where we have lost has vast numbers of protesters municipal leaders in tel aviv have refused permission for tense along its main boulevard in symbolic defiance paper tens have sprung up but for many of these people the tents are home and the protest is not temporary they're in for the long haul. shame on you mr netanyahu you should help the poor in the week i've been homeless for twenty years and no politician has ever come here they don't look at us as humans they think we're animals in the already people have set themselves on fire if nothing changes we'll all start doing it too by comparison not one person appears homeless and outposts like this one to make one as the social protests continue more and more people are demanding answers

tremendous momentum in the business we have you know sixteen million registered users one out of six internet users in india is registered on snap do growing by a million a month by the end of the year to be twenty five million. but if the young business tycoon had it his way he would have started in the united states where he got his ivy league qualifications but paul had no choice despite his eagerness to start a firm and create jobs america's searching on employment saw immigration authorities deny more and more visas for foreigners when your resume gets rejected you pretty much have to go back that is north there's no recourse us such and i think that was disappointing maybe we would have started something in the u.s. had we gotten. my visa but 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 it ends up being an incentive to u.s. companies to locate more resources outside the country and 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 infrasound of indian applicants for a certain type of temporary work visa were rejected while only around three birth of applicants from countries like germany and the u.k. were rejected for the same type of temporary work. 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

rejection put him on the road to riches and indians into work preassure either r t new delhi india. it was one of the biggest scandals of the reagan presidency of revelations that washington had been breaking and norms and ron and using the profits to fund the anti communist opposition in iran who are they so cold in iran contra the country to its foundations exposing america's lakeland flagrant breach of international following the end of the capitol hill hearings into the case exactly twenty five years ago president reagan went on national television to take full responsibility for what he called things he was unaware of but decades later the full extent of his involvement into the dealings and his awareness remain unclear the man who broke the story at the time a robot buried fears there are still too many details that will never see the light . what you saw here was the failure of the institutions of washington to get

control of these things there had been an effort in the seventy's after watergate after the exposures of cia abuses to bring some constraints on to this process and then you saw the iran contra scandal it was the first test case really would congress really hold the president to task and and make sure that he couldn't go off in his own direction the institutions of washington failed to both enforce the law our super law was in force but also in just explaining to the american people what had happened there are still many sections of this scandal that we don't know the full story about or even a chunk of the story so much of this remains still something outside the historical picture that the american people have been denied we don't really know who did what and why and even how and up next how very president wanting to find out what the

people remember i mean the headline grabbing scared now. 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 no you haven't i state no i have no something big he know yes yes it's about what was it about to 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. 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 hypocrisy. i guess we know a little bit about it but sometimes i find us to be very naive and we are not really not aware of 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 guy. and iraq was the you know the bad guys you know it's just the whole it's ridiculous if we change our definition of it 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 probably be more careful with whom we give arms to that is a very good old. 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 and 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 whatever message they'd like to promote. charactor date and i'll bring you the headline out of our short break.
