between two russian oligarchs living in britain a case full of accusations of dirty dealings and threats. international news and comment line for most go this is also he was me thanks for joining us he wants the u.n. security council to setup a save zone within syria to protect civilians fleeing war and move that would effectively require military intervention given russia and china's opposition to unarmed involvement in syria's affairs brison made it clear foreign nations could bypass the council to implement the idea why some nations are already discussing the future of syria without its current leadership brings us the details from new york. security council remains very much divided over how to deal with the syrian crisis the high level meeting that was taking place in new york focused on the

humanitarian circumstances in syria right now and how they continue to exacerbate according to u.n. officials at least two hundred twenty nine thousand syrians have fled the country in the past eighteen months spilling over to neighboring countries turkey has asked the security council to consider setting up refugee camps inside of syria that outside countries would safeguard this is a suggestion that the syrian government say they are very much against russia and china also opposed it saying that it could only create more conflict and violence so clearly you have a very complicated situation here but we did hear western countries address the security council their representatives calling once again for syrian president bashar al assad to step down britain and france the foreign ministers of those countries today made a new call encouraging for more defections within the syrian government and the
