the u.n. sends a wake up call to the security council saying its members on doing enough to counter the syrian crisis as he is now and the call good torn country it will sink deeper into violence. actually it's an easy road call for an all out mean big government which they accuse up ignoring debilitating domestic issues while wasting millions on settlements the struction indisputed territory. and a new wave of brose house aides bahrain leading to more planned downs understand what dozens of people arrested and injured after the demonstrations calling for political reform.

here's from russia and around the world this is our she with me. thanks for joining us first russia has criticized the new u.n. resolution on syria as one sided and supportive of the armed opposition says the non-binding motion passed of the general assembly there's nothing to ease the conflict and this comes after the u.n. envoy to syria coffee and i announced he was stepping down casting doubts over the future of the peace efforts and the situation has more from new. 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 russia says this resolution is not 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 you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the annan plan it undermines the syrian led produces 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 kofi annan 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 patrick hayes believes the countries that promoted the latest u.n. resolution of 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 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 do you have you know elements there are a lot of people who the west would not like to be dismissed or you put their stuff 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 will do no. more than one hundred people have reportedly been killed in syria over the past twenty four hours alone alone as the battle for aleppo escalate the rebel army now claims to control more than half of the city deadly clashes are also taking place across the country but the u.n. observer mission is set to expire and the looming departure conti and nine as peace mediator there's a growing concern the prospects for a diplomatic solution are fading at a time point of reports. 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 the country is only getting worse the death toll continues to rise and violence. new areas so seeing kofi annan throwing

in the towel certainly doesn't instill much confidence and 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 that 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 unspecified nation it looks like the

chances of a renewal of that mandate only slim or as far as russia is concerned this is definitely and that is the development was a very strong supporter of annan six point plan from big gaps goals and in reaction to the resignation russia's deputy foreign minister going to get to a road on his twitter page and was an honest broker but there were always fighters who try to get him out of the game to unite hands before i quote force action now. when we are talking about the secure. the situation on the ground things are not looking drive. the clashes in syria largest city of aleppo still continuing and here in damascus after a relative after a week of protocol the city was once again rocked by a series of explosions so despite an enormous demand for some sort of peace

settlement violence here in syria still continues and of course you can always follow our stories altie dot com we've got plenty more in store for you there including the ultra rich by the ongoing trial of the pursued rioters who took to moscow's main cathedral to express their anti oppression outrage all the details from the courtroom online. and new york city refuses to defend a cold portal camera pepper spraying occupy activity find out more details here. students on social action groups in israel are gearing up to deliver a clear message to the government tonight by drawing that sounds onto the streets of tel aviv one of the main causes for resentment is this week's convent of

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 of the budget and certain moments are finance or subsidized by government or activities the supreme court ruled this outpost to make was illegal and has given settlers here until august the twenty first to move out either way the 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 left for the other

there is one place where the government has already has enough money for a missing and this is in the occupied territories for the settlements. and this is why israeli taxpayers are saying enough is enough for a second straight summer protest some around the country's large cities but where we have lost years vast numbers of protesters who support 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 and the weak 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

that. one of south asia's hottest new entrepreneurs twenty eight year old ball is behind india's largest e-commerce company snapdeal dot com is often compared to amazon for its daily deals on services and products but we have 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 to you growing by a million a month by the end of the year to be twenty five million highest traffic e-commerce site in india. 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 annoyed 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 reason 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. 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 interest and 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 visa. the other sting in the tail for the states is that by turfing out skilled foreigners it's missing out on big box 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 that dime i spend can call. really helped us in building the company we've been able to bring 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 jobs america desperately needs cannot employ fifteen hundred people in ten cities

across india and we are now having the time of our life we also know that this opportunity of building a market to needing internet e-commerce company in our own country is never going to come again one door closes another opens for this internet highflyer america's visa 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 almost on a run and using the profits to fund the are anti communist opposition in the qur'an here on their so-called iran contra fat sugar the country to its foundations exposing america's flagrant breach in international funding then to the capitol hill hearings into the case exactly twenty five years ago president reagan took full responsibility for what he called things i was unaware of but the hot dog i

have later they fully extend to his involvement and his awareness for me on playing the line move on the story of a bit kerry is still too many details that's why i have a sort of a mind to see 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 simpson strains on to this process and then you saw the iran contra scandal it was the first test case really what would congress really hold the president to task in and make sure that he couldn't go off in his own direction the institutions of washington failed to both enforce the law stupid 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 trying to the story so much of this remains still something outside the historical picture that this the american people have

been denied we don't really know who did what and why and even out. and up next our very own new york resident went to find out whether people remember anything about the headline grabbing scandal. western media would have you believe that iran is some sort of evil enemy so do they not remember the iran 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 not heard. something big he didn't know yes yes do you member it was 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. said no it's not 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 what we thought that they were they were the good relative good. 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 of who's good and who's bad to suit our needs when ever 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 when you support something on 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 whatever message they'd like to promote. in europe to date in just a few minutes we're ruffle the feathers of the one percent a recap of our top stories just in.
