6:02 am
this is something that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov explained in detail while addressing the security council. the resolution does not fall under chapter seven of the un charter and does not alive the ultimate use of force like yours that the good it reaffirms the agreement reached but it is russian american meeting in geneva regarding violations as well as the use of chemical weapons by anyone we have to be carefully investigated by the security council of the united nations so you can see who will stand ready to take action under chapter seven if he is in charge or any incident which is considered a violation of the resolution approved one hundred percent before any action is taken the resolution also calls for the convening of the geneva two peace talks which un secretary-general ban ki moon says could happen as soon as november the geneva two is where the syrian government and opposition are supposed to come

while speaking just before the vote at the u.n. general assembly russia's foreign minister called for collective global leadership his comments came after president obama just a few days before on the same stage spoke about what he called america's exceptionalism explaining why washington felt compelled to engage in other states affairs earlier in my call came in one discussed this with two political analysts or drives or those first of all at the site of the un general assembly if we would before i believe america must work for our own security but i also believe the world is better for some may disagree but i believe america is exceptional. in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all well obama says the u.s. has quote a responsibility to act but of course it begs the question does not guarantee it's
6:05 am
always going to responsibly think that we should be very cautious about this so called american exceptionalism what obama is asserting is a long standing principle not only within the political establishment of the united states but within the very psyche of the american people that somehow we're better that somehow we're exceptional and obama is attempting to use that rhetoric as a way of putting himself on a moral high ground above putin above the chinese above any of the so-called troublemakers in the un security council so while it looks to the rest of the world that the united states is a belligerent actor when it comes to syria obama is essentially asserting that no no we are moral we are just and we are righteous r.t.l. spoken to syria's foreign minister who shared his concerns over what's happening at the u.n. . we control of this country. but we are worried that the that it could be who also has chemical weapons and they want to use it.

really trying to avoid war rather than try to make it sound it makes an interesting way the paper appears prescient as it was written before the british parliament voted against getting involved in syria under the immense weight of public opinion but. it seems unlikely that the public will be manipulated into supporting conflict quite as easily as even the ministry of defense admits that the current version to war is the result of a people that's better informed and in a position that's more sophisticated. or isthmus reporting there now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world greek police have arrested the leader and several top officials of the far right golden dawn party charging them with forming a criminal organization a crackdown comes amid public anger over the killing of a left wing activist by a man claiming to be a member of the group golden dawn is greece's third most popular party and denies any connection to the murder this is the first time in decades that a party head and members of parliament have been arrested. in
