does not dictate a political solution for syria something moscow has long been opposed to just a bit earlier i suppose you've been covering the talks for us. this whole story has been a diplomatic wall of course sort of since the start it's been going through ups and downs and even before the conference in geneva one foreign minister lavrov met with u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton after that meeting he said that she changed her position on syria but then she wasn't at the new conference from this. meeting in geneva much longer than initially planned nobody really knew what to expect in the end the war powers did end up reaching this understanding and signing in new york quite curious actually the world powers are finally almost come to the table agreeing on certain experts some experts calling this a victory for russian diplomacy your thoughts russia has been saying the entire time that no outsiders can order any solution to syria and that was reflected in this final document yeah we consider it of the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syria

syria? >> the question is what moscow can do at this stage. russia probably could put pressure on assad, but now, where the rebels are fighting for all or nothing, it is unlikely they will go for any sort of compromise. in busy even if there will be peaceful negotiations, it is unlikely they will choose russia as their broker after russian authorities were so long at assad's side -- even if there will be peaceful negotiations. really, there are no fresh, no new ideas from the kremlin on how to end the violence. >> thank you very much. at least six israelis have been killed in bulgaria after an explosion hit a bus full of tourists. >> the bus was at the black sea airport. more than 30 people were injured, most of them young israelis traveling in a tour group. bulgarian authorities confirmed a bomb caused the explosion. benjamin netanyahu has branded it an iranian terror attack and has promised a tough response. >> official results from libyas election showed a secular alliance has taken first place -- official results from libya's election. >>
