then we hear from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, and from either side. are it looks like it's about to start. ban ki-moon checking his watch, having a word with the man standing will, lakhdar brahimi. he'll do the negotiations when the full negotiation sessions start. they start in geneva, and the u.n. headquarters in geneva. that stakes place on friday. there is a gap here on thursday after the international gathering. while all the foreign minister represent 40 countries, then depart on their way home. lakhdar brahimi there, joint special representative. it will be his show from then on. he'll have to decide how to conduct negotiations. we are not clear if they'll start in the same room for separate rooms. none of those details at the stage being announced. the final photos being taken by the photographers here before the opening session starts in montro. the u.n. is the host, but dr lakhdar brahimi is the special representative. i think it's about to start - looks like ban ki-moon is about to speak. >> will you take your seat please, so we can begin.

sergei lavrov was optimistic about talks on iran's nuclear program.e didn't say he was optimistic about the conference. but in general, sergei lavrov said that peace was possible, of course, there are dangers, and dangers that he enumerated were not regional. he said that he was worried about the presence in syria of islamist groups. the islamic front. he enumerated them one more time. but he said that it would be wrong to talk about transition right now. he said that this is not according to international law. this was not the plan elaborated at the conference. so he was pretty stubborn in his opposition to a first not allowing iran to take part in the talks, and second, about making the resignation of bashar al-assad the main topic of the talks. >> as you say, he thinks the focus of the peace conference is fighting extremists and al qaeda. how much of all this, what we are seeing now is a battle for influence between russians and the americans. what are the reasons. the main reasons for russia's continued support for bashar al-assad's government. >>

sergei lavrov mentioned the geneva communique. i reiterate. the geneva communique can only be implemented through the concerted effort of everyone in the room. millions of people rely on a solution to save lives and country. we see only one option, a negotiated transition government formed by mutual consent. now, we need to deal with reality here. we really need to deal with reality. mutual consent, which is what has brought us here, for a transition government means that that government cannot be formed with someone that is objected to by one side or the other. that means that bashar al-assad will not be part of that transition government. there's no way, no way possible in the imagination that the man who has led the brutal response to his own people could regain the legitimacy to govern. one man and those who have supported him can no longer hold an entire nation and a region hostage. the right to lead the country does not come from torture, nor barrel bombs, nor scud mice ills. it's hart to believe consent would not be forthcoming. just as

that bravery i think is a much for bringing us this obviates on the meeting of sergei lavrov here in moscow with any officials. for in there now france is among the countries that will be attending the geneva two conference the country has voiced concern over hundreds of its nationals fighting alongside the rebels in syria but fear is their return home radicalized a former french prime minister told us that the talks in switzerland must take place without preconditions. i believe we have two problems today one is we need of who is the opposition to take part in this discussion because how can we have any settlement without having everybody around the table but also we have within the opposition a very strong. very strong fights between the two parts of the political opposition and the jihadists are fighting very strongly on the ground i think we should take away the jihadist all the people that are behind al qaeda and we should not focus on the plot of assad that we should not have any preview condition. before starting this political discussion the i really believe that iran should

crisis and syria us secretary of state john kerry is in paris meeting with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov. if allied leaders discussed the possibility of negotiating a ceasefire and a three year long syrian civil war. rt correspondent your peace cannot reports. well one of the first things that we've heard from us at the jail stages that russia the us and un are completely on the same page. that's the only solution the prophet in syria is a diplomatic one. mr kerry also said that officer in the forties and the opposition are equally responsible for the atrocities committed there were also seen a slight shift on iran since though a lot about breaking the un special envoy on syria and sergei lavrov. people were saying that the water see that iran taken part in the geneva to conferences is a key player in the region this was something that the us was previously a guess but now according to the us secretary of state washington wouldn't mind seeing sarah and there. at geneva to this it's the supports the agreements reached earlier outside the geneva one. now mr lavrov also said that the

later today russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov meets the head of syria's opposition union to press them to attend the upcoming geneva two peace conference stay tuned to find out how those talks will go. coming up this hour u.s. afghanistan relations are put under more strain stalling negotiations over a security deal which washington sees as essential are hit after american troops accidentally kill a toddler mistaking him for militants. will see the host city of the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics the scene one of the biggest security operations in the game's history tens of thousands of police officers have been deployed and access to the area strictly monitored with the aim of preventing any disruptions when events begin. takes a look. the twenty second olympic winter games in two thousand and fourteen are war there to this city of sochi i as soon as russia's black sea resort was awarded the game seven years ago sell observed as a question the choice of host city such as close proximity to the volatile caucuses region was they argued a cause for concern. and the recent

international we were showing un chief ban ki moon the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and of course the u.s. secretary of state john kerry opening statements but as i understand you accord the main condition for talks is that there be no preconditions and yet john kerry the u.s. secretary of state letting out a precondition that assad house to go. well that's right laurie even though the main agreement for this conference was to be for it to be held without any preconditions first the syrian opposition taking port were saying that they're going to push for president assad to step down and now u.s. secretary of state john kerry said that the syrian president has no future in his country once again despite the fact that washington and moscow they've been organizing this conference they both agreed that no preconditions was sort of the main condition for this whole event to be helt and soon enough towards war here as well they were saying that they are not ready to discuss president assad's future for them the main goal right now is try to achieve some sort of a cease fire we've

now russia and the united states have laid out a road map for the upcoming syrian peace conference sergey lavrov john kerry and u.n. envoy lakhdar brahimi acknowledged the monumental challenge of making it work but insisted that only negotiations can and the conflict was now crossed live towards a group is can off was following the press conference that's going on right now in paris and we're thinking so much for joining us here to discuss this so what has been the highlight so far and what struck you the most. well one of the first things that so u.s. secretary of state john kerry said is that the only solution to the conflict in syria is a diplomatic one saying that russia and the u.s. right now are completely on the same page when it comes to understanding that u.s. secretary of state also said is that the atrocities committed there in syria are being conducted by both sides said it. probably the most stark way throughout this entire time now also the other thing that both the russian chief diplomat and the american g. diplomat said is that. while so far the syrian authorities have con

sergei was a security guard there this job for about a year so how it all happened on the video footage. he was standing by the railing during the security check and then there was this man coming in and she just barely made it towards him and then there was a blast and it was over. and no more footage to stop a man who was trying to get through the security gate as he had to. yes that's what the camera showed. i saw him doing his job smiling. he did what he had to do. that was his duty. sergei is family mourned monday night with only the conviction that he carried out his responsibilities to bring them any small comfort for others involve the grind the night brought front of relief in the knowledge that loved ones were spared. they woke up the next morning to a second suicide bomber. this time on the city trolley bus i cannot remember anything i was deaf and by the blast we had almost reached the bus stop when the explosion went off. it was like an electric shock of my ability. a common man. i didn't see anyone i was sitting and drinking out of the window when it happened i think i was

are right now holding closed door discussions in paris on how to salvage the syrian peace effort sergei lavrov and john kerry are spearheading the process but it's being held back by syrian rebels refusal to take on the upcoming geneva talks even if the syrian national coalition does a tan on january the twenty second its influence on armed groups is tenuous at best meanwhile nearly seven hundred syrian rebels have been killed in the past nine days in clashes with the regime but with other opposition fighters what's become a savage turf war and with that chaos chances of success evident and switzerland are dimming by the day. with less than ten days left before the conference is scheduled to take place hopes with proper peace talks just like the stakes are high . there's no other solution for the syrian tragedy than a political solution but just when it seemed reports of atrocities carried out by al-qaeda linked rebels had pushed the west away from the n.t.v. she rhetoric we don't have the assad regime on one side and terrorists on the other it is the regime that is fueling terrorism. m

also seen a slight shift on iran since though a lot about breaking the un special envoy on syria and sergei lavrov. people were saying that the water see that the iran taking part in the geneva to conferences is a key player in the region this was something that the us was previously a guess but now according to the us secretary of state washington wouldn't mind seeing sarah and there. at geneva to this it's the us supports the agreements reached earlier outside the geneva one. now mr lavrov also said that to the authorities and syria have now confirmed that the party to take part in the conference although one of the sticking points right now is that it's very un known whether or not the opposition is planning to do the same although we all are possibly witnessing now up the positives. then this is somewhat of a positive tendency when it comes to the relationship between the abilities that unravels in separate debate about possible exchanges of prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid to get in but according to sergei lavrov right now. regarding humanitarian aid. the rebels are the key obst

have very very to do this really is a subject of very big concern for all of us yeah of course and sergei of course we all sharing your believes a nonviolent. come out of this situation but for some time actually ukraine's authorities have been accused of corruption but don't you think that people have a right to push them out. the corruption is one of the process is one of the just going to stand for what is the reason for those prove this but at the same time i don't think that corruption is only one problem which could have triggered those prove to us. from the latest developments is that probably some forces radical forces. just to capitalize on that and. on the disk and growing discontent and this is a side and those forces are just trying to fish in troubled waters and this is actually what they are doing now. of course we know that the opposition consists of a various different groups and they're not united they have different views about ukraine's future do you think they will be able to find any kind of consensus they will be able to unite. probably this is the key question for u

here, the three allies and close allies were all in town together here in moscow on thursday night, sergeiiranian foreign minister and syrian foreign minister in the same room together agreeing a strategy ahead of the geneva talks and sergei denies a three or party plan on the table but that is pretty much what we would expect moving forward to geneva two. i think what they are doing is enjoying the confidence that they have from having a united position on what they see as the future for, syria and meeting in istanbul and are in disarray and uncertainty if they will attend geneva two and it's contrast between confidence and authority that moscow and syria, syrian foreign minister have been having here in moscow compared to what seems to be going to play out in istanbul later on today. >> reporter: it will be interesting to see what comes out of there and we will have reaction from there later on and paul thanks for that. on thursday syria's foreign minister sent a letter to moon and the letter was leaked to al jazeera and in it he seemed to try to change the focus of the upcoming talks to

which include forming this transitional government but according to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov the interpretations of these agreements are often different as well as it was it is necessary to it did to agreements reached to geneva one but we are winning against the one sided interpretation of those agreements many including our colleagues in europe the us as well as the opposition are tempted to interpret the geneva communiqué soley in the context of regime change but we stress the principle of need to consent between the government and the opposition to run or actually it's absence is another issue here since this was supposed to take heart and it's a key power in the region with a definite influence on the situation in syria but the opposition was strongly against that and in the end. washington ended up asking the united nations to cancel its imitation evolve today we've heard from both sergey lavrov and you and secretary general ban ki moon saying that they hope to iran will be able to join the talks some time later on along with other groups of the syrian opposition

don't know the full story but there's no question that whether it was putin or a foreign minister sergei lavrov that the russians played a critical role in extricating the united states from what i believe could have been a terribly damaging military strike policy in syria what strikes me larry in the nation has been for one hundred forty eight years for seeking nonmilitary alternatives to conflict and it strikes me that we should be making more of how we can dismantle and destroy weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons without war because one of the great debacle is in my mind larry and the nation was one of the few media outlets to oppose the iraq war in two thousand and three is that we need in this current time to find nonmilitary alternative so the us russian relationship is going through difficult times steve will say more but as you look at nato expansion which is so off the radar in this country's discussion from the russian perspective they ask after the end of the cold war why do we need this nato expansion why can't we find new ways of relating and respecting the dignity

we'll bring you more details of sergei lavrov his meetings with his iranians insane syrian counterpart stay with r.t. for all the latest on that. we're now when leaked files from the u.s. national security agency revealed that the american spies had been keeping close tabs on a key ally germany the government there was furious comparing the tactics to those of the stasi east germany's notorious secret police artie's peter oliver met with veterans of that service to find out just how similar the two really are. on finding out that the united states attempt to private mobile phone call confronted president obama with this claim. former offices in the east german secret police which was known as the stars of a warning for the n.s.a. if they think must surveillance is the solution to a nation's problems who quote if it's even the best qualified and most advanced secret service cannot save the state we showed you that away from the professed shock of the politicians at the n.s.a. spying ability how does it compare with the actions of the east german secret services during the cold war as ca

which include forming this transitional government but according to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov the interpretations of these agreements are often different as well as the. it was just it is necessary to it did two agreements reached to geneva one but we are warning against the one sided interpretation of those agreements many including our colleagues in europe the us as well as the opposition are tempted to interpret the geneva communiqué soley in the context of regime change but we stress the principle of mutual consent between the government and the opposition run or actually its absence is another issue here since this was supposed to take heart and it's a key power in the region with a definite influence on the situation in syria but the opposition was strongly against that and in the end the washington ended up asking the united nations to cancel its imitation evolved today we've heard from both sergey lavrov and secretary-general ban ki moon saying that they hope will be able to join the talks some time later on along with other groups of the syrian opposition since

secretary of state john kerry is in paris meeting with his russian counterpart sergey lavrov the diplomatic leaders discuss the possibility of negotiating a cease fire in the three year long syrian civil war are to correspondent igor pissed off reports. well one of the first things that we've heard from u.s. secretary of state is that russia the u.s. and the un are completely on the same page that the only solution of the conflict in syria is a diplomatic one mr kerry also said that both the soon enough and to the opposition are equally responsible for the atrocities committed there now we've also seen a slight shift on iran since a lot of barbara he needs your own special envoy on syria and syria lauber off the ball for saying that they want to see iran taken part in the geneva two conference this is a key player in the region this was something that the u.s. has previously against but now according to u.s. secretary of state washington wouldn't mind seeing tehran there at geneva two if it supports the agreements reached earlier at the one now mr also said that the authorities in syria hav

both sergei lavrov and your answer to a gentle upon you saying that they call their rental will be able to join the talks sometime later on. along with those other groups off the syrian opposition since kaylee it's not the presents yet entirely it seems everyone here agrees that the only diplomatic a political sution is possie inyria and that's definitely going to take time but frankly even having the steeple of the authorities and the rebels in the same building with me already be considered a diplomatic breakthrough the alice aren't easy to our past cannot report it. well an alarming report account of the iraq un officials are criticizing the iraqi government for hanging twenty six people convicted of terrorism offences. according to the iraqi justice minister the killings happened on sunday. all the people killed were iraqi nationals. now any recent report from human rights watch shows that the number of iraqi xecutions i ring each year. take a look in two thousand thirteen one hundred fifty one people where hamlet that's u from the previous year's one hundred twenty nine and in two

he spoke to sergei lavrov. we had ban ki-moon and representatives of both sides as well. is number of speakers making their points. they are given a 7 minute limit, we are told at speechers. >> testy times earlier between ban ki-moon and the syrian foreign minister. >> whel we wait for the translation to come through, i hope to check in with james bays, who i can see on a monitor. a quick word on what we have seen so far? >> we have seen a pretty dramatic exchange and the cas between the two sides. there's a slight translation problem, not provided by al jazeera, but the jagss who are organising all of this. seems to be a problem. it will be interesting of what he'll say. the syrian foreign minister walid al-muallem said there were others in the room who had blood on their hands, spending their pet roe dollars on trying to destroy his country. i think we can now listen to the saudi arabia foreign minister. >> without any conscience or any international laws that prohibit the use of such weaponsment yet the king come of saudi arabia exerted a lot of efforts together with t

said he was not sure if he could get them in one room, but we heard the russian foreign minister, sergeilavrov, say that he thought the talks in geneva would last for a week, there would be a pause and then resume. >> that is our chief foreign editor. next, to the central african republic, or the newly elected interim president is due to formally take office today. violence between christian and muslim militias have pushed thousands from their home, and the new president has asked displaced families to return home, but that will take some convincing. our correspondent met with one man who just brought his family back from the democratic republic of congo. >> after many weeks in exile, with his wife and five children, he has finally returned home. they had fled to the democratic republic of congo after violent clashes in the neighborhood between the christian militia and the formal rebels -- former rebels. >> this is the place of the buttonholes. the second -- loopholes. the second is there. my child used to rest here. here, and iell decided to take my family away because we are not secur

sergei reminds us in 2010 they went to the vancouver olympics, sending out the wrong signal given that the cossacks associated with the destruction of the native peoples. i don't anticipate, wouldn't anticipate any kind of effort by sarkhasian to disrupt the games. if there is -- these are islamists, not sarkhasian nationalists. we have seen islamists targeting people with a national agenda in places like bulgaria in the north caucusus, we have seen a few fascinations of academics who have been trying to portray non islamist identity for the sarkhasians. just to finally a few extra words about the north caucusus. i should also mention another reason abkhazia is problematic which no one has mentioned so i should mention september 9th the russian vice consul in abkhazia was assassinated, the main suspect is a chechen who was wounded in georgia. that is a different subplot. that is a reason for the russians to regard abkhazia as a problem and a threat to these games rather than as an opportunity. a couple words about north caucusus. gordon and i would agree we have differences of perspect

secretary of state john kerry issued a joint appeal with his russian counterpart, sergei laffer off -- lavrov. they called for some cease- fires. they also considered an exchange between the warring sides and the opening of humanitarian corridors to deliver aid to those trapped by the fighting. donor nations pledged over 1.7 billion euros for victims of the syrian more on wednesday, less than half the u.n. appeal target. >> after two years coming in second, named the best footballer in 2014. an emotional moment for the portuguese star and his mother. >> good evening. i cannot find the words to describe this moment. >> the german goalkeeper was named best female player. and the men's award went to another german, the former bayern munich boss. there was a special lifetime achievement award. it went to a brazilian legend, the only player to win the world cup three times, pele. >> welcome to the 71st annual golden globe award. weekllywood spent the celebrating the winners of the golden globes. johnny depp announced the prize for best drama. it goes to "12 years a slave." >> director stev

he met with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov today. talksre pushing for peace to take place between the government and opposition later this month in geneva. john kerry just gave a press conference at the u.s. embassy in paris alongside the russian foreign minister. >> we talked today about the possibility of trying to encourage a cease-fire, maybe a localized cease-fire beginning with aleppo. both of us have agreed to try to work to see if that could be achieved. has alreadyon agreed that if the assad regime were willing to declare that, they would live up to that. they are prepared to do that. we also discussed the possibility of prisoner exchanges. we have discussed that with the opposition. the opposition has declared that they are prepared to put together lists, they are prepared to entertain such an exchange. begins,e the conference we are going to try to send signals to all sides in syria on the need of establishing localized cease-fires, on the need to consider lists of prisoners of war and civilian prisoners. we are also tryin

>>> joining me now, the russian ambassador to the u.s., sergei kislyak.or being here. >> thank you for having me. >> straight up, the question is that these olympics are going to take place, full speed ahead, in sochi, which essentially is right next door to a war zone. was it a mistake to choose that spot? >> it wasn't. for several reasons. one, sochi is as safe as the rest of russia. secondly, sochi is pretty unique a place in terms of its geographics, climate, and very uniqueness in sochi being kind of resort area on the warm sea and you can also do downhill skiing in about two hours and a half. so it is wonderful place for olympics, first. secondly, it is not close to war zone. there is no war zone in russia. >> well, it is certainly close where a lot of terrorist activity takes place as recently as last week and the week before. that was my -- not an official war zone, you are right. >> i will tell you that the phenomenon of terrorism is a global happening in nature. so wherever you are, you might become a target of a terrorist. and we do not take it

but while glass sounded like a goods idea, it seemed to just out our friends and it made sergei lookry. at least as of this year, you won't have to turn them off of the plane, the faa's new rules allow you to keep your phones on for a flight. it was a pretty boring year for apple, that means in 2014 the company's fans will be looking for some of the rumors to arrive. personal 3-d printers fell to the 1,000 dollar mark. just don't expect to keep any of this stuff private. revelations that the nsa has been monitoring the communications of millions of unwitting americans have destroyed the notion of digital privacy. in 2014 companies will look to prove that our texts emails are out of the government's reach. scientists developed an ex-peer mental therapy to fight cancer. a technique called crisper allowed for genetic micro surgery, turning on or off the genes that lead to or prevent certain afleflictiafflictions. what really got attention this year, however, was the brain. deep brain stimulation, a method of feeding electrical currents into our heads has already eased the system of park

in paris secretary of state john kerry and russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said aid was on the way. syria's government and the main opposition group agreed to allow some humanitarian relief in the blocked off parts of syria. envoys are looking at the possibility of enforcing local help in aleppo. >> federal officials are looking into why a jet landed in a wrong airport. the boeing 747 took off on monday with little run way to spare. we explain how it got there in the first place. . >> federal aviation safety investigators are trying to work out how two experienced pilots could have made the mistake. the captain had 15 years of experience with the airline. now, they landed at the wrong airport, about six miles away from branson missouri, and they landed at a small county airport. the boeing 737 coming in on a run way, over half the length of the one they were supposed to land on at the other airport in branson missouri. 124 passengers on the jet came from midway airport, and a crew of five. it landed about 6:30 pm. it was dark. the weather was good. there are air traffic control

. >> for months now people have been shifting the public utterances of sergey lavrov trying to find outrussia is looking beyond assad. one week it sounds like they are ready to acknowledge there will be a post assad syria, the next week they are right behind him 100%. all the way. where are they now? >> i think we have to look at it two ways strategically. for russia syria is its access to the mediterranean. and so for russia to give up syria is like giving up access to the entire half of europe, africa and anything to the west, so strategically russia has no intention of giving up access to the mediterranean, so yet, russia has signed the geneva 1 communique. it has pledged that it will consider a transitional government that will remove assad. so they are trying to play both cards right now. so what kerry is trying to do, very diplomatically with the russians, is to ease russia toward that point that we talked about, ease russia towards the notion that it can't support assad anybody. it doesn't have the diplomatic leverage and assad doesn't have the support in order for russia to show

ban ki-moon, will be meeting with john kerry and sergei lavrov.ore than 40 nations, of course not iran because the invitation to them was withdrawn, they are trying to get everyone on the same page. get the international community saying we support this peace process, the idea of a transitional government to take over the running of syria. then those negotiations will start here in the building behind me. the start on friday, around the table to syrian delegations. one representing the syrian government, one representing the syrian opposition. the problem is this, they are supposed to come up with a transitional government with members of both sides. that's the aim of this whole process. the problem is, that on the assad side they say that government must be lead by president assad, and have his key lieutenants, his key security commanders in that government. on the other side, the opposition side, they say that transitional government must not have president assad involved and none of those around him. that's the key strumabling point and what th

. >> we would encourage russia and the united states work very closely, sergei lavrov and john kerry talking almost everyday on the phone, two dozen meetings, et cetera, et cetera, most on syria. so there are some ingredient which is make us theme it can be a success. but obviously obstacles are enormous and there are some players who don't want to see any settlement at all, who want syria to disintegrate, who want syria to become a hub of international terrorism. so it's -- we are working, trying to overcome tough obstacles. >> rose: we conclude with a conversation about the future of turkey with james jeffrey, dexter fill kins, elmira bayrasli and benjamin harvey. >> erdogan has basically prosecuted, arrested or otherwise marginalized huge numbers of the turkish elite and that's -- so what's happening now that that the vanguard, the sort of turkish vanguard that has done this led by erdogan is starting to crackup itself and that's basically it's split into two lanes so i think what's so -- what's troubling to me is that turkey has been a very stable place and a democratic place for

you seem to be replacing larry and sergey as the people out here who everyone's talking about.'re just staring at me. >> is that a question? >> that line is now in the social network, the movie about facebook. >> is that a question? >> the question is, who is the real mark zuckerberg, and how did facebook really get its start? >> why didn't you raise any of these concerns before? >> we'll look back at the controversial creation of facebook and its cofounder, mark zuckerberg, when we return. [ticking] >> when we approached him, we had been working on the idea for almost a year, at that point. we had a sophisticated codebase. it wasn't an idea scribbled on a napkin. it was a very sort of mature idea, and we brought him on to bring it to completion. >> we agreed to work on this project. he sabotaged our project, and he betrayed us. >> okay, big question: are you guys on facebook? >> yes. >> we are. >> get out of here. >> when 60 minutes on cnbc returns.
