all right that was russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov they are now what exactly does the new plan imply well i mean the idea of this one is that this new transitional governing body will be formed in syria which will include all sides of the call for including the authorities and all parties within the opposition which is also quite diverse and in the future the plan also. proposes the creation of a new constitution and democratic elections in syria and all that will be monitored by the united nations and well specifically by u.n. special envoy kofi annan himself and plans to continue visiting syria and contacting both sides well it's still there a lot of a question answers but what's important is that the dialogue keeps going on now given what's been said and done so far what sort of faith you think awaits bashar asad well a similar question was. actually kofi annan was asked this is the same question and i think let's just listen to what he had to say on this. one. so i guess we can report it better than mr otton himself well thanks very much indeed igor for bringing us to feel

says there are no more preconditions and no ultimatums voiced here and actually as foreign minister sergei lavrov said those were some of the more stumbling points during the negotiations since previously some of the outside. of syria. and some preconditions such as the immediate step down of president assad now powers have agreed that it is strictly up to the syrian people to decide whether they do want to see president assad in power or not or all the outside players the world trying to to apply pressure on all sides of the conflict the authorities and the rebels in order to get them to the peaceful negotiating table and to build this transitional government which should also include all sides of the conflict. from the and from the rebels and it is planned that this transitional government will have full governing power. the workers can offer pour into now u.n. arab league peace envoy kofi annan says he hopes the international plan for syria will be implemented within a year patrick harris an associate editor of the pan a news website in for wars dot com says if the road map doesn't work

well meantime russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the policy of supporting the opposition will ultimately lead to an impasse this comes as the turkish prime minister visits russia to talk moscow out of voting against the latest upcoming u.n. resolution which does propose sanctions on damascus a more on this not wattis sean thomas. this is a visit by ed one is seen as a last ditch effort to try and swing at russia over to the side of a lot of the international community who want to go for this it boots on the ground option with the un security council resolution coming up now russia is against sanctions of russia is it more so against the idea of no foreign military intervention in to syria in fact if you look at article seven in this resolution there is a cause a clause rather on the table that states as a last resort that foreign intervention it could be used in the syrian case is something that russia certainly does not want which is foreign minister sergey lavrov has actually come out and propose another meeting that to correct to the flaws of the original geneva agreement m

the use of external force people over explains the position outlined by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. unfortunately we've even seen some moments of blackmail so i consider it talks only counterproductive and dangerous approach because it is unacceptable to use the observers as a bargaining chip with words well what russia wants to see is the extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria now they proposed a resolution to the u.n. security council which says just that's now some of russia's foreign partners have come forward and said yes we'll vote for your resolution if you vote for now the second resolution is being put put forward by countries such as the united states and great britain now the wording of this second resolution is open to interpretation it could see foreign military intervention in syria now this is something that russia have always been against they don't want to see any foreign military intervention because they don't want to see the situation in syria turn out the same way as the situation in libya prompting sergei lavrov to say that russ

trying to establish peace should not be used as a bargaining chip sergei lavrov the russian foreign minister spoke to the media before his talks with u.n. special envoy kofi annan outlining russia's position on the conflict in syria so stay with us he will be keeping you up to date on coffee and i was coming to visit to moscow. doogue.

is a major player in the peace process but we're expected to hear from a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov a little later on where he will reiterate russia's support for was discussed in geneva a couple of weeks ago that would see both sides of the conflict both the syrian government troops on the opposition forces lay down their weapons and come to the table for talks so we could also hear some criticism from such a gale of roles leveled at some of russia's international partners in the peace process particularly those west involved is that how that influence over the opposition russia doesn't think that those western policy doing enough to put pressure on the opposition to put down their weapons now currently we're seeing the u.n. security council in deadlock those two resolutions on the table that could be voted on one of those was put forward by russia and we would see an extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria the the second of those resolutions put forward by western countries and would focus on assad only and on the assad government saying that they ha

moscow moves the mediation forward syrian opposition groups are in the capital and foreign minister sergei lavrov is due to meet representatives of the syrian national council later on tuesday they reportedly want to persuade russia to get behind foreign intervention. a british m.p. admits politicians were useless and uncovering the truth behind the barclays scandal while the bank of england's deputy governor has denied claims he gave barclays hands to manipulate lending rates in two thousand and eight. and russians and basic necessities to the ravaged southern region of cross and dark emergency workers and volunteers are trying to help those affected by flash floods. while next year in our view would discuss russia's position on syria with the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in russia's lower house of parliament. do you think the events unfolding in syria are in line with the interested to syrian people. there's a civil war going on in syria and it's only the syrian political opposition that's benefiting from it because the opposition took up arms and use violence to achieve the

of that man sergei magnitsky was tragic no doubt about that but too many this kind of punitive legislation passed in the us would look quite hypocritical considering all those notorious reports about human rights abuses committed by the us in places like like abu ghraib you know the secret prisons how do you see that. well i think again this is true in every country that there is a natural tendency towards so fractiousness as jesus said we see the sin in our brother's eyes before we see the sins in our own this is human nature let's move away from the magnitsky law us russian relations haven't been rosy in recent years but the leaders of both countries made took concrete steps to boost economic ties trade and all that but in the geo political field differences remain and we see a serious clash of approaches over syria. what is at the root of the clash the americans have developed on their ideological passion revolutionary passion for democracy i have had russian journalist friends who ten and fifteen years ago predicted to me this would happen they say your country is going to be as ideolo

you're willing to do the same fast forward about four weeks later and the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov had to refute that statement or those jokes continuously for the past several weeks apparently not everybody in the delegation in the german delegation thought it was a joke and the rumors have been spreading like wildfire throughout the european media sphere again to russia's stance and by its point they saying that they're not holding the door open for the syrian president and the only way the only real way of just put a stop to the syrian conflict is a for the syrians themselves to sit down to table for dialogue no matter how look at it other options or rumors that may appear to be. better to use they're going to go to school reporting live from moscow. and other news greece is furious at the british prime minister over his remarks at the u.k. could restrict greeks from entering the country the move could also prevent other eurozone citizens coming to britain to escape recession at home because he says london should be focusing on its own financial troubles as laura smith ex

observers mission won't be prolonged sergei lavrov was speaking ahead of talks with international envoy kofi annan who's in moscow seeking russia's help to end the bloody crisis in syria and let's go live to peter out on the boat so peter it's a crucial time for syria with foreign powers deadlocked over how to end syria's conflicts also foreign minister been saying about that. fraud was outlining russia's stance on syria which hasn't really changed over the almost a year that we've seen is conflict going on in the country so that both sides need to put down their weapons and come to the table to talk now that's both. the government forces as well as opposition fighters as well he said that it was only through the kofi annan peace plan that we could see a solution to the ongoing crisis now he looked and is international partners at russia's international partners in trying to come to a peaceful solution and accuse them of not sticking to promises that had been made at a meeting a couple of weeks ago in geneva whereby they seemingly agreed to put pressure on the opposition forces using th

it's good to have you with us two pm here in the russian capital and the country's foreign minister sergei lavrov says foreign partners tried to blackmail moscow to secure a u.n. resolution allowing the use of force in syria. national. unfortunately we've even seen some moments of blackmail so i consider it talks will be counterproductive and dangerous approach because it is unacceptable to use the observers as a bargaining chip with words. like peter oliver he's been following a conference where those words came from surrogate lavrov what kind of bargain is circular of talking about here peter well the observateur the foreign minister spoke about. what russia wants to see they want to see an extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria and he's said this therefore russia's foreign partners have said yes ok you can have that we'll throw that through the u.n. if you vote for our resolution which is being put forward by western countries that russia isn't supposed to do the reason they're not prepared to do that is they believe it could lead to some outside military interv

alliance and russia's top diplomat the syrian national council hopes to persuade foreign minister sergey lavrov that russia should help them oust president bashar asad and moscow wants to hear whether rebel forces are committed to a peaceful solution well let's get more on this now from lucy kauffman a. well lucy on the surface it looks like the sides have little common ground but what can we actually expect. well the answer to your question unfortunately lies within the question that sells there are very few common grounds for the new sides here as these talks are set to kick off with the head of the syrian national council set to meet personally with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov we do know the one common. brown's starting point for these talks is that all sides agree that there needs to be some sort of a political transition in syria given the fact that after sixteen months of violence it does not really look like that situation is getting any better however the major division at hand here is over the role the president harsh are all asado if any should play in these tran

used in the syrian case is something that russia certainly does not want russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has actually come out and propose another meeting that to correct to the flaws of the original geneva agreement more specifically he wants to bring iran to the table and to saudi arabia to the table who were not there before he also in the meeting today is that sergey lavrov and he came out just a little bit ago with some statements supporting just one side in the conflict will draw syria into civil war this is something that russia does not want to see happen he also says statements that assad must leave is really a sign of weakness off from the international community also sanctions mean supporting only one side of the revolutionary movement and that's not fair to all parties involved and that also russia does not support the assad regime but russia does believe that they are sure he will not believe by himself but also the policy of supporting only one side in the conflict is going to lead to nowhere so coming out saying those statements giving the statements and the fact th

constitutional system and that we'll have plenty more details on the case of sergei magnitsky including the investigation into his death all the banks around to those controversial stories online at our. other back in a moment with a recount by the way. well to the. point is the magic of transforming airplanes into jet trains dirty diesels into clean rail dreams double down on profits by building up instead of outs and in german swollen places east for the self knowledge up here on r.g.p. . the search. me believe he. comes from. wealthy british style. is not on the telephone. market why not.

comments on last week's blast in damascus which killed president also its key aides foreign minister sergei lavrov said the u.s. practically just fine terrorism charges lucy catherine upcher has the details. it was a socially a war of words but a sort of hypocritical stance to some degree when we saw many members of the u.s. administration speaking out almost immediately after various so-called massacres that had taken place on the ground in syria when this latest blast took place killing many high profile members of president bashar al assad's government as they attended a security meeting their reaction from the u.s. state department was quite a difference they have actively had said that these attacks were not surprising given the conduct of the present bashar al assad's government one spokesman even said those who died were key architects of the regime's assaults on the syrian people it's a very different sort of response that we've seen two different kinds of explosions in the tops in syria at these statements caught the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov here is how h

observers mission it won't be prolonged sergei lavrov says u.n. monitors in syria are trying to establish peace should not be using used as a bargaining chip. and the american protest u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton on a violent person is given washington support for the new the alaska because it was president this thread strained u.s. relations with israel where it is concluding her nation regional war. and americans are losing trust in mainstream media polls show its popularity is at an all time low but citizens are stepping in building on line reporting new to the forefront. and next drafting a plan for struggling countries and how to create the euro as the leading british business chief tells r t why he thinks they should go. today i'm talking to lord simon wolfson who is a multi-millionaire and chief executive of the next fashion chain he's also just sponsored a prize for the person who comes up with a nice disruptive way for a country to exit the euro is a lot simon wilson thanks for talking to us today now why did you decide to spon

so the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying there that this document is very precise however there does seem to be some fine print as well the inside of this what exactly does this new plan entails well the idea of the sporran is that syrian people and that's the most important part syria well established this transition governmental body which will include all sides of the conflict with the authorities and all groups within the opposition including the rebels then. they will have a new constitution and democratic elections everything will be monitored by the united nations and specifically by. you a special envoy kofi annan is awful planning to visit syria and for talks with both sides now certainly for the past number of months so when it comes to the members of the u.n. addressing the ongoing issue in syria the united states has been quite eager indeed to have president assad step down now in the past twenty four hours and washington seems to have changed its mind saying that perhaps assad can stay but with the transitional government still though what do you think the fat

of course the crisis in syria is no laughing matter and yet russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov was asserting that he heard a joke when during his visit to germany about a month ago is german counterparts asked him point blank whether russia is ready to give the political asylum to the syrian president the russian delegation laughed it off saying that yes they are willing to do so but only if berlin is ready to do the same password several weeks later russia finds itself repeatedly repeatedly refuting those claims as saying that no indeed they're not holding the door open for the syrian president he's not packing his bags with one hand and holding a ticket to moscow in the other and again it's a good old house use this opportunity to reach a rate at the viewpoint of russia and that is that the only way out of the syrian crisis is for all sides involved in the conflict to sit down for a dialogue and that really is the only way out of the massive violence in syria no matter how lucrative other options or rumors may seem to be. to say grin a cover party live from central moscow thanks

don't want to see the situation in syria turn out the same way as the situation in libya prompting sergei lavrov to say that well russia feels blackmails let's go back to comments that were made a little while ago by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in which she said china and russia were to blame for the ongoing conflict in syria saying that essentially they had blood on their hands and would have to pay a price no foreign minister lover of reacting well less than pleased he could say to those comments saying that this wasn't the way that the plane was he should be done to negotiate some acceptable to blame it all on russia and china and especially to resort to threats like they will pay for this which is beyond not just diplomacy rules but any common decency so far it's the syrian people who are for the unwillingness of some of our foreign partners to observe the u.n. security council decisions. well those syrian people it's a lover of mentioned they all the ones that russia wants to see decide the future of the country there have been claims that russia is supporting the ass

are no more preconditions and no all too many times voiced here and actually as foreign minister sergei lavrov said those were some of the more stumbling points during the in a go since previously some of the outside outside of syria of course. some preconditions such as the immediate step down of president assad now powers have agreed that it is strictly up to the syrian people to decide whether they do want to see president assad in power or not or all the outside players the world trying to to apply pressure on all sides of the conflict the authorities and the rebels in order to get them to the peaceful negotiating table and to build this transitional government which should also include all sides of the conflict both from the and from the rebels and it is planned that this transitional government will have full governing power. now the urgency for international agreement on syria has underlined by the intensifying daily violence there while we cannot cross still a corresponding briefing on who is in the capital damascus for us well maria has there been any reaction at all in the cou

thithis is when you were here l, 11 years ago when you and sergei came here in 2001, roll the ta tape. >> we are both actually kind of obnoxious and when we were recruiting to the ph.d. program, and larry had to comment on every single thing. >> be difficult in every conversation and we had to debate every single point which i guess are things i tend to do as well, so while we are continuously arguing, i guess that is also our upon facility and we got to be friends pretty early upon in the ph.d. program. >> rose: there you go in 2001, has the relationship changed over the years. >> you know, i think i have had a great relationship with sergei and i continue to, and i think it has been really good for the company that we have had that close relationship and ann we don't always agree on everything but we work well together, and we are able to discuss and get through it. and that is really a continued and i have been happy that has continued really well as we have gone through this transition and i have become ceo again, after a long, long period of time and i think sergi is really thriv

wires also reporting that kofi annan is in the line with us now also in the meeting today is that sergey lavrov and he came out just a little bit ago with some statements some comments and they i'm going to read it so that i don't get these wrong supporting just one side in the conflict will draw syria into civil war this is something that russia does not want to see happen he also says statements that assad must leave is really a sign of weakness from the international community also sanctions mean supporting only one side of the revolutionary movement and that's not fair to all parties involved and that also russia does not support the assad regime but russia does believe that they are sure he will not believe by himself but also the policy of supporting only one side in the conflict is going to lead to nowhere so lavrov coming out saying those statements giving these statements and the fact that russia is stalwart against this article seven it doesn't look like any minds will be changed today as we know and as you is discussing the prime minister out of the one he. good to speak with
