russia prepares humanitarian corridors to help civilians leave the syrian enclave of eastern ghouta but it's not clear if rebel and terrorist groups there will let anyone. the un security council unanimously adopted a resolution to extend sanctions on yemen with russia blocking an earlier draft that condemned do wrong. as italy gets ready for the weekend's general election protesters across the country turned violent to stop a center right coalition coming to power and. russia not pleased i greeted by families friends and fans back home after the winter olympics closures in south korea.

you're watching international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. russia says it's setting up humanitarian corridors in the syrian enclave of eastern to allow civilians to leave the war ravaged district. is like aged just outside the capital damascus and has been occupied by various rebel and terror groups for years violence has recently escalated there with both sides exchanging fire and accusing each other of targeting civilians moscow now says and it was a starvation humanitarian corridor and launched daily five hour pauses to provide aid to people in territories occupied by the militants well the u.n. had also said it will use the opportunity to help civilians. five hours is better than no hours but we would like to see any sation of hostages be extended.

thirty days as the security council has said but we will effort to do whatever we can within the time that we're able to work well any of the un security council unanimously approved a resolution calling for a nationwide cease fire across syria this was done to enable humanitarian access and to evacuate injured civilians but still spy the establishment of humanitarian corridors it's not clear if militants occupying eastern ghouta will let anyone hand zante is what i guess the of explains. resolution twenty four zero one which called for a pound syrian seized without delay so far is a dud everyone is interpret it in ways that suit them radical islamist terrorists ignore it josh al islam the army of islam has not stopped shelling damascus dozens of casualties over the last few days alone the syrian army says it

has the right to defend itself against extremists until the shelling ends citing a clause that excludes terrorists from this resolution but even then if you talk to syrians there's no rule that much enthusiasm for this ceasefire. this truce is similar to the others and we will see it being violated this is the same old story and we are the ones who end up being harmed don't you see the children old people women and students who should we feel sorry for for these rebels this is because we are tired of shelling every day about thirty to forty shells all here and some money mileage i am against the truth because it only benefits the rebels i hope that it will be over soon and that no gunmen remain there but it's not only rebels and terrorists in east ghouta it's also civilians russia has

announced the establishment of humanitarian corridors by which people can leave east ghouta it says the syrian army will abide by a limited unilateral ceasefire to allow civilians to leave if they can rebels is limiting ghouta which include al qaida have barred civilians from leaving the enclave for years according to amnesty international and others and reportedly they are still doing. so we're talking here about the same rebels who caved woman on roofs as human shields against strikes so no surprise it isn't just damascus and east ghouta that are burning its afrin in northern syria to turkey which says it is exempt from the ceasefire because it is carrying out an operation fighting the y.p.

jeep syrian kurds whom it calls terrorists it says it won't stop its operation when we look at the un security council resolution we see that fight against terror organizations is outside its scope therefore it will not affect turkey's ongoing operation thousands have died over the last month of turkey's incursion turkish president ever do on and said this ceasefire has failed at this point resolution twenty four zero one looks dead on arrival. my colleague neil harvey spoke with also abdel bari atwan who says it's too early to judge the effects of humanitarian pauses. it is very very. premature to tell actually what will happen but i believe this that people responded six million were allowed to leave you school to old to leave the fighting it is definitely this will reduce the human casualties among those people russia's foreign minister sergei

lavrov has claimed that there's a decision from a shin campaign underway he says it's targeting the syrian government first of all it want to hear exactly the words of lover of. words are being planted in libya by chlorine allegedly used in eastern good news outlets are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you we've been warning about such great stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the white helmets a provocative organization with a history of freak reports especially when it comes to chemical attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with the single girls to blacken the syrian government make using it evolved sorts of violations and work with it so we've seen in the worldwide media claims of hundreds of civilian deaths some reports of chemical weapons being used what do you think what. is the mainstream media been balanced in its coverage definitely of it is that deliberate

campaign i noticed for example as a journalist that there is no mention at all of the victims and the other side nobody mentioned all talked about charles you know kind of so. called does of the capital damascus. and u.n. security council resolution regarding yemen that was suggested by russia has been adopted unanimously on monday russia had vetoed a draft resolution that condemned iran over actions in the water country r.t. samir khan reports. russia's draft resolution has passed unanimously in the security council today they met to discuss the ongoing situation in yemen and to vote on two rival draft resolutions one proposed by the u.k. and the other by russia of a u.k. draft resolution called for quote additional measures against iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo now this came after u.n.

experts said in january that iranian military equipment was brought in to yemen after the arms embargo was imposed but also stated that they were unable to verify the supplier and russia's draft resolution called for the renewal of sanctions until february twenty nine hundred but did not mention iran the russian ambassador called for political dialogue and expressed the need for the u.n. to come closer he also explained the reasoning behind the veto let's take a quick look i will be frank the wording advanced in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing ramifications and this is not only applicable to the situation in yemen but also to the region overall this will inevitably escalate regional tensions and lead to conflict among key regional players instead of antagonizing relations in the middle east what we need are measures to seek consensus through a mutually respectful dialogue. in contrast the u.s. and u.k. feel that iran should be condemned and that russia china bolivia and kazakhstan

shielded iran from responsibility let's check out what the u.s. had to say russia bolivia china kazakhstan sent an opposite equally clear message instead of demanding accountability from iran they decided to show it to iran from responsibility instead of insisting that iran live up to its international obligations they have invited iran to continue promoting chaos in the middle east their actions will not be forgotten and we will not stop until toran is stopped and peace is once more possible for the people of the middle east for some context the crisis in yemen started in twenty fifteen when saudi arabia led a military campaign against those who sees and since then the campaign has led to the deaths of thousands and reduced its infrastructure to almost nothing the conflict has been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis as saudi arabia has imposed a blockade preventing any humanitarian assistance or food from coming into the

country it will be interesting to see if the adoption of the russian resolution will polarize the u.n. security council even further. former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating team. says the u.k.'s proposal was not constructive in resolving yemen's problems. this was a very devious series of lucian put forth by the u.k. solution he got into this blame game. situation the money catastrophically to asia in yemen calls for. a rational political process in light of the selection of a new special envoy by the un on yemen next month so. i think that russia was very sensible and rational. it was trying to decide a resolution and russia drafted on extending the reach the sanction regime on and yemen saw i really think that the u.n.

. got it. wrong wrong with the situations that are helping it. tensions are rising across italy as the country proposed to vote in next weekend's general election police have been deployed in cities throughout the country to handle rallies which either defend all kinda center right forces security forces expect further protests during the election elections and afterwards as the vote isn't expected to produce a clear winner. assesses the key political figures. it's nice general election a show like no other starring a convict a tramp wannabe and a poster boy confused well let me break it down for you the office contender is the grand old age of eighty one and has a scandalous past of ford convictions and sex scandals and he's also been the former prime minster italy multiple times silvio berlusconi i'm still young so i'm

ready to work. well at least he's young at heart and he has plenty of supporters. i will vote for berlusconi and the rest i don't care about he gets things done. due to his conviction he can't. become the prime minister himself but if his goal is only part he does well he could be the man to pick the head of the cabinet go it's clearly it's a coalition which spans the range of italian center right politics is thought they could gain thirty eight percent of the both part of this coalition includes our next contender matteo salvini and his leg a party for me and i thought. italians first tell us first wait a second doesn't that battle cry sound familiar america first and i'm sure that's more. what i admire and trump is the fact that he is keeping most of the promises he made during the electoral campaign now just like trump salvini tweets about

anything and everything moving on swath it contend and now the young face of the anti establishment party only thirty one years old the leader of the five star movement is seen by some as a bit of eye candy and he makes weight promises to we are the only political force that in recent years has made promises to the italians and this kept faith with those promises we're the only ones to renounce the privileges of politics while the politicians continue to obtain these privileges i give up my annuity and cut my salary. he's the complete opposite of the party's founder and stand up comedian but they agree low he's cool calm and collected and it seems to have captivated young voters i will go with tomorrow tomorrow will be a baton and point i hope that the five star movement comes to power because it stands us young people better we are more aware of our technology they think about the future of us young people but they're still

a huge group of those and show which way to votes on march the fourth poll suggest almost a third of eligible voters are either undecided or will abstain honestly i don't trust anyone anymore. or mean they're all the same whichever political party it is they come here they make their promises i say this i will do that but in the end it was nothing they might have their reasons italy has seen sixty governments and even more prime ministers since the second world war that's roughly new cabinets every fourteen months so we'll see if any of these cars can sway the voters and stay long enough to actually keep any of their promises polls also show the center left parties including the current ruling one are likely to struggle at the election however it is junior minister for european affairs sandra gold c believes the large amount of undecided voters means the outcomes not set in stone. there are four million of it and yes for media of the day yes i would say that they would go to

vote they would support a valve that they had steve to make up their mind and that is why the opinion polls of us are not reliable because. we depend on the movement on the electoral behavior of these four million people and also there are people who have abstaining that as in our elections who are saying they would have stayed and this is the duty of all the political forces in this week to perswade they are possible of voters to go to the polls because these are national sinitta would be very important for. for our positioning in the european union and i think that they are also very important for the possibility to relaunch their european union hisself. russia's athletes receive a hero's welcome back how it off to the end of the winter olympics a story imo still to.

what's going on is only producing. delusional fears it doesn't have any meaning unless it leads to real peace which can be. no guarantee of only by the most pristine of presidential. what holds its hands to. be put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rushed. into going to be pressed to see what the before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters of my. face should.

welcome back mighty expert everything longer and could be facing jail and a hefty fine due to his passion for recycling elektra mix the thirty three year old is accused of creating illegal copies of windows disks to help sell refurbished p.c.'s or longer and was given fifteen months in jail and fined fifty thousand dollars but the appeals court has allowed a stay of sentence to allow him to argue his case prosecutors accused him of manufacturing twenty eight saas and counterfeit disks with microsoft's windows operating system on them when microsoft maintain longer and actions deprive them of the profits from selling new licenses while longer and insistent wasn't

a profit making scheme and he wanted to prevent second time computers turning into waste he admitted he intended to sell fake microsoft discs but hasn't actually done so. joining us now is eric london c.e.o. of recycling firm i.t. assett partners eric thank you very much indeed for joining us what can you give us a little bit of the background there as to how this came about i mean why did you need to make new just what's the problem with the existing microsoft software. well the microsoft software and thank you for having me by the way the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and bloatware and viruses that over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you most in that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a refresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is right ok so so for people who don't know a great deal about the technical stuff it myself included here i mean how did you

how did you how do you get to adapt these dis did you buy original disks or did you how can democracy how did you do it how did you adopt it. oh there's there's no hacking going on they're free online you can download them for free currently from any o.e.m. from microsoft themselves while you can download windows ten in windows eight directly from microsoft for free or you can download the actual disks themselves from the o.e.m. that you bought your original computer from or you could call euro and they'll send you one for free so with these new just how to how do they how do they basically keep old computers got what was the kind of key ingredient do they mean that computers lost a lot longer once that was the thinking how. well it refreshes the license and the operating system on the unit so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of

people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses and bloat where and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that so looking at the aims of what you were doing then you knew you wanted to prolong the life of the species that you wanted to make sure that if it to be that few computers ended up as waste did not occur to you that perhaps by doing this you could be breaking the law. well no the software is free online and when you buy a computer it comes on the computer and technically that software is used with the

license that came with a computer in the licenses it gives the user the right to use that software as many times as they want on that computer so technically i didn't think i was breaking the law and in fact i still don't think i was breaking the law in that retrospect i think that i think i was helping people extend the life cycle of their electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much working product out of landfills as possible i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind that's that's my purpose in life or it has been for the last sixteen years and so have you been surprised that by the reaction from microsoft. very very i mean i know that if you were to make top these of their license or their c.e.o. ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if

you are providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally owned property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society if we're able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime a crime that deserves to be punished because you're directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own help them refurbish or repair their their legally own property so now you've been given the state of state of sentence by the appeals court so what do you

expect to happen in court now what do you think is going to be the next move. well i hope that. i mean i i'm doing this because it's right for consumers and it's right for the environment and it's right for mankind so i'm fighting this battle and i'm hoping that the more transparency that occurs in my case that people will understand what the purpose of of all this is. i was i was very very shocked when i was given a prison sentence for extending the life cycle of electronics and practicing recycling and trying to empower people so. i think that the eleventh circuit did the right thing by looking into this. and i expect for hopefully for them to realize that there was absolutely zero evidence in the process of convicting me

in regards to the valuation of a restore cd c. restore city has no value it's literally something that is meant to be free so that people can have the ability to repair what's right fully there is that they purchased and paid for. i hope that i hope that the eleventh circuit realizes that this. software has no value and that during the time of infringement that all of this was free online and that you yourself watching can download and use the software today for free to repair your rightfully owned legally owned property. i hope that the eleventh circuit realizes this and i hope that i hope they don't let this go any farther and finally i mean the media's referred to as the recycling renovator that's what they've called you i mean how do you received any feedback from the community are they in favor. oh yes yes i work with sixteen of the largest fortune five hundred companies in the

world and i constantly find ways to help them become more efficient with their way streets. that's my purpose in life so. yeah i've gotten a lot. of great support from both the public. on my twitter and facebook accounts and social media and the fortune five hundred companies some of which came to my court case and testified on my behalf and the work that i do. it's never meant to hurt anybody what i'm really trying to do is help the world become more efficient. and in the process i think i just got in the way of. microsoft's agenda which is to sell operating systems even at the cost of planned obsolescence pushing all of this hazardous material into landfills that then leeches harmful chemicals in our water table lead mercury bromine that we you know eat in our food and drink in our water and breathe in our air and i'm against that i'm i'm here to fight and combat

planned obsolescence and help people and i will leave it there ever a good c.e.o. of i t s a partner thank you very much indeed thank you. now russia's athletes have a real life togo after the winter olympics finished in south korea the team was thirteenth in the middle table after the taping scandal prevented many top russians from competing daniel holkins was at the airport where the contestants were finally allowed to display their national symbols. days. with the russia but everybody knows they really should. not miss you five. people five of these well wishers showing you what's really a festival atmosphere here today you know all they did was for korea you know there was a lot of discussion of whether they should make a hundred you know whether they perhaps should more quote the games here today as you can hear by the cheering is self-evident yes they should have gone yes they

should look was it their country and the fact that we don't go there often it's. certainly a reach to get a third place in history in pictures during the final competition someone. before him and he fell to the south he managed to grab the third place. was the chance to . mostly grating the whole national team of course but when i see the hockey players the most we will very worried for them but we'd like a seven am to see the final now we want to greet them and say thank you yes like i'm here good thing everyone i fold every match and their athletes. before the start i just wanted to participate to compete for a medal because it was really hard because of the whole neutral flag issue but i'm glad that i got a good result from it except for the skating rink and my own room in the canteen i

haven't seen anything else and kyung chang was very busy with training games i was at first of course frustrated we simply did not know how to behave because it was the first time in our careers that we for to subpoenaed under the neutral fly to watch it it's never the last we tried our best not to give it too much attention we had to prepare to focus on our tasks at hand you know the most important thing for me was to qualify for the games and win under what flag it doesn't matter. i'll be back with headlines in just over thirty minutes see you. there. russia's been reaching out for decades for years down under putin saying look we've got to trade more this more trade and america is like well no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money if you're going to create a fake enemy called who they're with demand three hundred million dollars meanwhile you go to trade with china and the east and create the news so grow to become much

for join a five foot six thousand dollar gobby all america shrinks. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. with nor make this manufacture consent to stoop to public wealth. when the ruling classes and project over themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the woman. during all middle of the room six. the room. is the a. child's seem wrong. but all the walls just all. the way to get to shape out.
