this cannot be allowed to continue and i think the russian position is yet again it has to carry the burden of trying to put the world right in the international scene. do you think that we could see another situation in syria as we've seen this humanitarian mission unfold in libya how do you think that's going to turn out how much how long can the un hold on to these vetoes coming from but if i may non-western countries i think i think that. the. nation's security but i think russia and china should continue their position because the position is very clear that the euro is not there to change regimes it may provide humanitarian people purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes and i think the speech or trials made in the security council that the syrian opposition. should understand that the u.n. is to protect them not to change their regime therefore there must be a discussion between the opposition who are absolutely right. against the dictatorship of the regime in egypt in syria but this is not the role of the u.n. to change

advisor to syria's president dr both english up on mr ban welcome to our program how do you assess the position taken by russia and the security council to block the resolution criticizing syria what information did syrian authorities give russia to support its position. we welcome the positions taken by russia and china and their use of the veto in the interests of syria and its people the information provided was just about the reality of the state of affairs the point is that decisions taken by western countries are based not on real events in syria but rather on the task of suppressing syria as an arabic state that plays an important role in resistance at the same time unfortunately they draw conclusions from reports by a few self-seeking arabic media outlets who act as their accomplices in covering violence and crime committed by terrorists and militants in syria now that another attempt to adopting a tough resolution against syria has failed what do you expect the international community to do in order to exert pressure on damascus. i believe that october fifth two thousand and eleven whe

because the position is very clear that the u. n. is not there to change or a jeans it may provide humanitarian people purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes and i think the speech of trust made in the security council that the syrian opposition. should understand that the u.n. is to protect them not to cheat and therefore there must be a discussion between the opposition who are absolutely right in standing against the dictatorship of the regime in egypt in syria but this is not the role of the u.n. to change their region in syria and i think this is the right position right from our president of the arab lawyers association talking to us from london thanks for your input. back to our top story the occupy wall street protests in new york and the u.s. talk more about the situation and what it all means joining us now is even a landman who is an author. thanks for being with us stephen what do you think the outcome of these demonstrations will be. wat
