senate but armed with senators to ratify this treaty.f they do i have loaded for a double barrel lawsuit and credit history. lou: the ratification of such a treaty would aggregate second amendment rights for all american citizens and would do so, as you say, through the united nations, an institution that many people think should be dissolved rather than have sway over the lives of our record in citizens. that we have our own federal government trying to strip away our second amendment rights. it gets even worse the we have the united nations and giving them authority to undermine our second amendment rights. that is why our potential lawsuit is so incredibly important. we believe the trees did not trump the constitution. so i will raise this lawsuit of the treaty passes, which it has now come of the president signs it into effect in the u.s. senate ratifies it. we have to file a lawsuit to make sure it does not go into effect. we will lose the authority is kutcher has said for its own independence. lou: 388 shares across the country hav

i think they will ratify it in the end. you are right -- there is, for example, the national rifle association. they had concerns because they do not want stricter gun control, but i think they do not understand the main goal of the treaty. it is about import and export of guns like not only rifles but tanks, so i think the goal is that, for example, you can monitor what sort of weapons are sold or taken to syria, the conflict area, so i do not think we will see huge concerns in the senate and the house. i think in the end, america is going to verify this treaty. >> thanks very much. to cypress now where the finance minister has announced his resignation over after just over a month on the job. >> he has been under intense fire for his handling of negotiations with the country's creditors at the international monetary fund and the european union. his replacement is a man who has never served in government. this comes as a special commission takes up a criminal investigation into the collapse of leading cypriot banks. >> mic

right as moscow moscow to try to pursue abuse you of a child security about considers whether to ratify a two international documents aimed at protecting children's rights we're talking about their rights for example protection protect them against prostitution pornography even the sale of children as well now one of the documents comes as part of a wider un convention on the rights of charge children it was accepted and ratified by every single member of the general assembly except somalia and the united states is curious certainly mira ribbon is a former director of the american adoption congress and she explains why america alternately failed to put down its stamp of approval what's been reported and seems quite logical that the opposition is coming from conservative religious groups and their opposition seems to be based on that it's going to usurp the corrent bill rights and. state and federal laws here in the united states these people are very concerned about rights such as death to the child shouldn't be able to have the choice to choose his own religion they're concerned about

though it comes as a part of a wider un convention on the rights of the child it was accepted and ratified by every single member of the general assembly except somalia and the united states now a ribbon is a former director of the adoption american adoption congress so she explained why the u.s. alternately failed to put down its stamp of approval what's been reported and seems quite logical that the opposition is coming from conservative religious groups and their opposition seems to be based on that it's going to usurp the corrent bill rights and. state and federal laws here in the united states these people are very concerned about rights such as death to the child shouldn't be able to have the choice to choose his own religion they're concerned about their right to punish their children and they're concerned that ratifying this treaty would interfere with their individual rights. now we well summing up what we'd see beyond as that both countries russia and the united states have exchange of their own blacklist which consists of eighteen officials certainly bit of going on as well you'

it what i understand almost all members of the un did ratify this document but there were two right and you're going to tell me countries did not ratify the document right indeed and these countries are somalia and the united states it's not too often you get somalia in the united states in the same sentence together but that's true. but over in the program i spoke to alexei pushkov the head of the foreign affairs committee in the russian lower house of parliament and he describes ultimately what lies ahead for the relationship now between russia and the united states. the irony of all of this is that to my mind president obama has become hostage to this list has become hostage to the n.t. russian elements in the u.s. congress because basically obama needs a cooperation with russia. on career it is a collaboration on iran and so many other regional and global issues in his corporation if he wants to make progress in the cuts. nuclear armaments and so on but by having signed this law and by having enlarged the list he has become a hostage to the very negative dynamic in the relations

religion they're concerned about their right to punish their children and they're concerned that ratifying this treaty would interfere with their individual rights. japan comes into north korea's cross has pyongyang threatens it could a talk talk if it should start any missile test fires while the u.s. reiterates it won't talk to the reclusive nation unless it agrees to drop its nuclear program. plus the london cafe is offering more than a teaspoon of politics with its coffee and it's looking to stir up radicals all that later in the program. allegations of plots conspiracies and trade tree are coming in thick and fast in venezuela capping a short but better presidential campaign some nineteen million of it is well and to more of for their next leader to head the world's most oil rich nation. campaign and game venezuela chooses a new president chavez choice runs against a free market poster boy for possible venezuela choose after commandante self-styled socialism or free market model venezuela votes fourteenth. and in the latest exchange the government's accused the opposition is bringing

now moscow tries to go even further with the issue of child protection as it considers whether to ratify two international documents aimed at protecting children rights yes and into this one of the documents comes as part of a why did you on convention on the rights of the child right and it was accepted or ratified by almost all the members. of during the assembly except somalia and the united states and we have here us. she explained why actually us failed to put its stamp of approval. what's been reported and seems quite logical that the opposition is coming from conservative religious groups and their opposition seems to be based on that it's going to usurp corrent all rights and. state and federal laws here in the united states these people are very concerned about rights such as that the child shouldn't be able to have the choice to choose his own religion they're concerned about their right to punish their children and they're concerned that ratify this treaty would interfere with their individual rights. now you would as summing up russia has just recently responded quite directl

senate but arm twist the senators to ratify this treaty itreaty.they do, i'm loaded for a double barrel lawsuit aimed right at this treaty. >> lou: and the ratification of such a treaty would simply abrogate second amendment rights for all u.s. citizens and it would do so, as you say, through the united nations, an institution that many people think should be dissolved rather than sway over the lives of american citizens. >> lou, it's bad enough if our own federal government is trying to strip away our second amendment rights. it gets even worse if we have the united nations in giving them authority to undermine our second amendment rights. lou, that's why our potential lawsuit is so incredibly important, and that's because we believe that treaties do not trump the constitution. i will wage this lawsuit if the treaty passes which it has now passed if the president signs it into effect and if the u.s. senate ratifies it. we have to file a lawsuit to make sure it does not go into effect. otherwise, we will lose more than our second amendment rights.

the child or what i understand why do you know the almost the entire united nations signed off and ratifiedthis document but there were two left of tonight two countries somalia and the united states somalia the united states and in a culture of thank you stephen cohen a professor of russian studies and history at n.y.u. says the diplomatic fallout is due to the incompetency of some members of the u.s. congress. obama did not want the magnitsky act it was imposed on him by the american congress and by a congress that included his own political party the democratic party the act by congress was of course provoked by aggressive voting forces in the united states congress is itself is not russophobia it's just uninformed it knows almost nothing about russia most members of congress have no understanding of the international affairs or national security and when loftiest bring pressure on the majority members of congress you end up with a bill like this if it's changed and poison the atmosphere it's going to make it harder for example. president obama to make concessions on let's say missile de

now moscow tries to go even further with the issue of child protection as it considers whether to ratify two international documents aimed at protecting children rights and security now the motions are see up. focusing on preventing sexual exploitation and abuse against minors as well as the sale of children prostitution and pornography and the very interesting point here is that one of the documents comes as part of a white or un convention on the rights alpha of the children which was never run to fight by the united states all right of course. russia has fired back responding to the so-called moderates can list and as far as i understand the right now because actually the news just on happened in the russian gas they russian a list imposes a travel ban on americans who are involved in. violations of human rights of russian citizens and right now a ribbon of former direct soviet marken adoption congress explained why. what's been reported. and seems quite logical that the opposition is coming from conservative religious groups and their opposition seems to be based on fear that it's go
