a genuine partnership is hardly achievable but are relying on the foundations of economic cooperation the prevailing majority of states are interacting within the w c o and in this sense they are operating already in the common economic space this creates prerequisites for working towards a harmonization of integration processes in various regions of the world because instead of trying to artificially pit them against each other by creating a new division lines of russia proceeds exactly from this understanding this joint work with its partners towards establishment of the eurasian economic union i think russia touches great importance to achieving the millennium development goals and drafting on their basis the global development agenda for the post twenty fifteen period. its main priorities are the eradication of poverty and supports economic growth through expanding investment opportunities and creating new jobs. we should we need for the folks who will be with you know you think you can finance minister of energy and transport infrastructure the fight against infectious diseases and

majority of foreign minister sergei lavrov addressing the un general assembly focusing on the syrian war in the latest attempts to provide a legal base for the country's chemical disarmament the foreign minister also mentioned that a unilateral use of force is unacceptable and undermines international law he added there's no place for leadership in a multi polar world it was the sixty eighth congress of course mr leverett went on to warn against hijacking crucial decisions and bringing them into action without the un security council's go ahead let's bring in now our senior political correspondent mr now he was also listening in either and there sir good to see you tonight take us through the finer points i've highlighted some of them there but take us through what he had to say about syria what exactly did you focus on in his speech there. he focused on something we've been hearing from russia for a long time first of all it's not that simple you can't go around blaming the
1:04 pm
syrian government we heard just before him u.k. deputy prime minister still blaming ourselves for that chemical weapons attack on august twenty first this despite a recent breakthrough in diplomacy at the u.n. so so. we're seeing cautious optimism from both russia and many of its western partners when it comes to syria the difference is they both have so many different ways of looking at the situation and one of the main points that foreign minister love rove brought up was the fact that chemical weapons is more than a mix up to cold they cannot be used but you can't go around accusing and threatening action without any kind of proofs when proof when you have the west still blaming also for the attack and russia clearly saying that they have proof that it's much more complicated than that when we go around. pushing for action it needs to call on both sides to calve accountability for any kind of violations that
1:05 pm
that's something that's we're seeing in this new resolution that has been put forward by the u.s. and russia which will be voted on later this friday another thing that we heard from foreign minister at the grove was an outline of double standards when it comes to policy in the mideast what he used was a comparison between syria where you have the west really pushing for regime change there and then mali where you have the west really not only backing through policy but through military backing up the regime there so he pointed back out and basically is saying that it's not going to work anymore that the united states and its friends at the u.n. really have to be careful about how they move forward that the old ways of working aren't going to work anymore and this was really the focus of his speech at least when it comes to syria of course this comes on the heels of this news that and i think it's fair to say a rare or rare thing it's become at the u.n.
1:06 pm
when you have the sides agreeing and it looks like they're going to most certainly push through this resolution on syria in terms of chemical weapons but as russia has been pushing for a long time both sides are going to be accountable for. for any kind of. use of chemical weapons for any kind of violations and it doesn't allow for military action or in fact any kind of nonmilitary punishment in the form of sanctions this you don't see that you're talking about there are nyssa could be described as a diplomatic leap forward here that we're witnessing. yes and even more so it's a breakthrough because about because just a month ago it was looking like one obama was really rallying for support to go ahead and bomb to moussa koussa but two it looked like the u.s. and russia just couldn't agree but they were sort of just saying they were going to agree to disagree of course that might have changed very much the u.s. had gone ahead with that campaign it changed very quickly with the deal put forward
1:07 pm
by russia for also to get rid of his chemical weapons and the other thing that sergei lavrov pointed out the willingness that we're seeing from the outside government wants to hold meetings to move forward in terms of the geneva format and to so willingly and be ready to take up this proposal to get rid of his chemical weapons it's not something we've been speaking to analysts that you see so much from the opposition from the different rebel factions possibly because there are so many of and a lot of them are in line with that with terrorist groups and this is something that we're hearing as well from the foreign minister that you have to be careful it's one of the the main facts it's not black and white in syria but one of the things we know what all sides have admitted the west and russia and syria is that there are groups there that are considered jihad is that the u.s. certainly doesn't want to align itself with and that's one of the clear facts that we have coming out of syria and that's what we have to move forward based on the
1:08 pm
facts that we have not on the accusations and it's you know notions of the thank you. iran's president expects a draft. home working with the u.s. and the international community over his country's nuclear program some rouhani was a gave a news. conference in new york in the past hour the spirit of diplomatic optimism at the u.n. also extended to rare encounter which saw the u.s. secretary of state meet is a radiant counterpart for their country's highest level talks in decades their meeting centered on surrounds atomic program and fell within the framework of the seven nation ago ca should this shift in tones widely be welcomed both sides remain cautious though saying actions will speak louder the words end of the day international law professor of middle east expert told me iran's trying to win the hearts and minds of people worldwide like now. you know around feared a fairly comfortable position and they felt that the policy of. the previous letter
1:09 pm
after mr rouhani was not helping at all from a legal standpoint your own fears that it has done everything it could if there is anything you want to gain public opinion it knows that the media is waged a war against it it has verified it is the revolution and it has portrayed it in a position of a threat to the international community now it is trying to make a case to the international public opinion and they have changed the tone. barack obama should go on trial for crimes against humanity that's what the president of bolivia is calling for he exclusively tells us about the what's behind is. coming up. almost daily deaths people crammed into filthy sharks a long work days in torrid affair this is the dark side of bringing cattles

football world cup dream to life the gulf states big hit with criticism for human rights violations it turns door into what some describe as a miracle city the government brought in a raft of immigrant workers to get the capital ready for the twenty twenty two event but first a geisha has now revealed that labor is a big dying at a shocking pace because of atrocious conditions so far the authorities only response is to bring in reinforcements and to promise that they will look into the claims rights activists football fans and players that have been urging free for now to strip the top off world cup hopes the international trade union confederations but at the forefront of a campaign to stamp out labor abuses its general secretary has been talking to us. because the slave state that's the extreme thing to say i know in the twenty first century but that's the reality workers exploited from the moment they are forced to pay money to recruitment agencies in the paul or india philippines other asian or
1:11 pm
african nations they sign a contract they go to kick off in the context for now just a little of four hundred dollars a month. many of them killed workers they are forced to leave in one nobody has been to those labor camps where you have i ten twelve sometimes more to. accept and certainly no c.e.o. would accept this son or daughter living in those conditions then of course they are often abused underpaid the work is dangerous more than one worker a day will dying. here they even if they want to leave they can't leave the country because they have basically the oh no that they are owned by the employer who has to sign an exit visa or in data transfer of working right help their passports are often held against the law it's appalling it's appalling and frankly it could be fixed we've offered the government solutions but have no political will to fix it.
1:12 pm
quaid from anti-slavery international says he hopes the scandal will trigger a reaction now in qatar to force the government to improve its rights record we'd like to see the world cup being used as a mechanism to change not country i think what hard oxic li would say is that the abuses which are going on in qatar are of such magnitude that the qataris certainly at the current point in time don't demonstrate themselves as worthy of the system which facilitates forced labor and slavery would think that's part of the legal system part. migration immigration. reform the most. i would prefer to see rather than a car that could tart changes i think if the tar does not change and it certainly should be taken away from it but it will be much better to see that the system of can follow which facilitates forced labor right across the gulf region is broken
1:13 pm
fundamentally qatar in relation to the world cup could be a major change in relation to the whole region just ahead tonight why russian journalist a furious over the prolonged detention of togo for working and made those recent greenpeace protest has got the story. the inevitability of blowback in the perverse logic of terrorism ever since the us . acts of terrorist networks of political rated deadly massacre in kenya is a case in point. strategy that is worse than the disease. to build a. mission

1:17 pm
a decision was made to detain the activists when they started to climb the russian oil platform using ropes and grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their cause and some suggest they probably knew what to expect given multiple warnings but the activists went on anyway possibly knowing how much public attention the action would generate an aid has generated a lot of attention especially ahead of the arctic conference this week where the leaders of the arctic nations together with experts from oil industry were discussing ways to explore the resources in your case as well as ways to minimize the damage to the environment and the russian president was asked during the conference of the detained activists and he said obviously they were not tirades but greenpeace has anything really violated international law by sending activists from the shipping inflatable boats to try to board ship the president suggested

1:20 pm
a collective lawsuit aimed at putting an end to this genocide i think that the threat exists for any country with vast natural energy resources especially when gas i understand that this is a direct threat to venezuela in order to secure energy resources for his own country obama will invade any other country but he's not the leader of the world or some headlines in brief tonight clashes erupted between israeli police and palestinian protesters in jerusalem's old city also the west bank and gaza the violence broke out after friday prayers a list of the militants had called for an uprising of the number of jewish groups were allowed to visit the al aqsa mosque under police escort but there is an important holy place for both muslims and jews. the number of people killed in the pakistan earthquake is now risen to five hundred fifty in the thousands still waiting to be rescued the seven point seven magnitude quake hit the southwest on choose day it was felt more the thousand kilometers away to invaded new delhi was so big it also led to the formation of
1:21 pm
a small island which apparently is admitting flammable gas just off the coast. place of use tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters in sudan's largest city angry the deadly crackdown by authorities human rights groups say security forces are killed at least fifty protesters during nationwide demonstrations they say many died by gunshots to the head and to the chest the rallies began. earlier this week against a few subsidy cuts but since they've widened with calls now for sudan's president to step down. the terrorist group that slaughtered more than sixty civilians during that all out assault on the shopping mall in kenya struck again says it's now killed three kenyans for attacking two villages near the somali border nineteen thirty g.m.t. tonight he's crossed looks at what sowed the seeds for this latest violence. i think we have to look at this in two ways first of all there's a somali issue going on here and then there's an international issue if you look at the statement made by al-shabaab about the westgate attack one thing was kenyans
1:22 pm
you better get out of somalia or else you'll face more than this and the second thing was the international community you better superstock supporting the kenyans and supporting the others in fighting in in somalia we are meddling in somalia targeted assassinations air strikes drone strikes all of us active to billions there. they've scattered. groups but also created new ones and clothing al-shabaab so yeah the idea of blowback here is a surprise we are we are seeing. the. remnants or the outgrowth of what our policy the united states' policy is in the last twelve years there. are people who may just over two hours' time the french president has his way that he'll go to fifteen billion euros from next
1:23 pm
year's federal budget already facing mounting pressure from the right over france's relationship with europe as the economy shows precious little sign of an upturn yet as a test for some reports next french citizens of markedly glad about the grim outlook to. this you know where your promises are among. the boiling over frustrate ssion caught on camera priority is employment we need to eat but at this point the bad news no longer calm a surprise to many french popular self-styled mr normal condemned for having no power to stop economic uncertainty from becoming the new normal at the research this possible with only eleven percent of the french think their economy will improve over the next twelve months running out of economic admission that along recently unveiled a three point five billion injection into thirty four key sectors hoping to spur a. real revolution. people have managed to avoid the crisis
1:24 pm
because france has been a rich country for the past ten twenty thirty years and older generations have proportionally more money than the younger ones so in the family the transfer phenomenon is common meaning the grandparents are helping their grandchildren finances studies but we can't go on like this for much longer. and there's your skepticism it's. rises reflected not just in opinion polls but increasingly in the election outcomes as well as. holding referendum in january two thousand and fourteen french do they want to stay in the european union do they want to stay with this do they want european lula's to be stronger the national mood. is right here the decisions on everything from public finances investment unemployment and the euro zone are debated and made the problem seems to be that there are more debates then decisions prompting the french foreign minister to say that this place
1:25 pm
needs a boss but france cannot afford to stall as french president francois hollande is still under great pressure from berlin and brussels to deliver on his economic promises in a draft text in april along socialist party attacked merkel and her selfish intransigence and called for a confrontation with germany over policy or. if the economic situation in france dramatically worsens compared to germany it will take some different political course that will divert from the german one this will create a complicated conflict inside the e.u. if that happens tensions will get worse. a collision course that will rock is already unstable kind as germany itself is dealing with a growing add to your frustration over having to bailout the naturally on healthy neighbors. seem to stick to germany only because an anglo merkel thing ever said publicly the front lawns with something you're. not yet at least to us are still
1:26 pm
your r t paris. great programs a lot of here tonight breaking the set of remarks and looks at how the n.s.a. surveillance kind those being dealt with during that ongoing u.n. general assembly is that show rudd of to this break. i mean anyone who lives in the united states knows a few people or just dismal geography a certain small percentage of the country just can't get it that canada is above us but how important is knowing geography anyways what one author on the washington post blogs recently wrote that no one geography really doesn't matter that much he was writing in response to the game of where's damascus which challenges people to find syria's capital on a blank map he said that whether americans can find syrian
1:27 pm
a map doesn't affect the wisdom of a punitive strike meant to uphold international norms against the use of chemical weapons and often disasters draw our attention to places we'd never heard of before like pearl harbor or columbine or syria but let's look at this way i don't exactly know where persons kidneys are or how exactly they work so by all normal logic that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove john doe's kidneys my opinion doesn't count because i am kidney ignorant so if you know so little about syria that you can't even find it on a map then you are more likely to believe from a guy in a suit on t.v. that there must be an intervention to save the people there you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them but gosh darn it that intervention sounds nice knowing at least where a country is on the map is the first step in building in informed opinion but that's just my opinion.
1:28 pm
what's up guys i'm out in martin and this is breaking the set so it looks like i might have spoken a little bit too soon about the holy bishop says a few days ago i gave a big shout out to the new pope for having a fresh outlook on homosexuality in the role of women in the church the way to know it it was then revealed that pope francis has signed off on the excommunication of father greg reynolds from australia why because according to father reynolds he was founding a group called inclusive catholics that supported women's ordination and gay marriage so there's a major major coppa sorry guys should have known better than to praise the highest echelons of religious power in the world if you think the pope should practice what
