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 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 from the international community al

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 un security council which says just thus now some of russia's foreign partners have come forward and said yes we'll vote for your resolution if you vote for the second resolution has been put put forward by countries such as the united states and great britain now the wording of the second resolution is open to interpretation it could see forward at 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 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 co

encouraging them to take us all on but let me say once again we are not supportive of russia was supportive of the un security council resolutions geneva communiqué and kofi annan plan we fully and. we go back this set of documents all the provisions you know who believe and will of course accept any decision of the syrian people as regards who is going to run that country but it should be the decision of this syrian people but they should make it on their road given the preservation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country and all their civil rights of ethnic and religious groups should be provided for and all the issues over reforming the bullets kill systems and the timeline that we call the transition period which is necessary of course should be solved by this iran's themselves by the dialogue between the government and all the groups of opposition as reflected in coffee and plan and the fine communique option these are decisions just trying to exclude. someone from this process is counter to the decisions and agreements reached and the external players rule should be. encouraging all those wa

force in syria was extended for another month on friday the unanimous un security council decision followed another vote which still russia and china veto a resolution threatening sanctions against assad's regime moscow described the western led plan which could potentially have led to foreign military action in syria as biased because it only put pressure on the government middle east academic professor lawrence davidson says if the world community really wants to stop violence in syria it also has to put pressure on those sponsoring the rebels. or un resolution was something of a red hering. because it wouldn't have made much difference on the ground the british ambassador to the u.n. made a statement that. the resolution would have helped save lives i think this is just utter fantasy i think from the american standpoint why into being openly when it's possible that the regime might fall just through clandestine intervention in direct intervention and if the british and the americans and the french want to save lives have to do is put pressure on the saudis and qataris and others to stop running going into this area and

this friday with me karen terror well the un security council has agreed to disagree on syria russia and china have vetoed another attempt by western states to push a resolution threatening sanctions and use of force against the assad regime now the extension of the u.n. observer mission in syria is at stake and marine important i reports. russia has said for from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would include the potential of sanctions being imposed or even military intervention this western backed resolution that was drafted by the u.k. called on damascus to immediately seize any kind of fighting and the use of heavy weapons and withdraw from populated centers and the resolution gave the syrian government ten days to comply with those demands otherwise sanctions would be imposed. what was attached to that draft resolution is a forty five day extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria so that is quite clear why russia would not give its support to this western backed resolution because it was putting all the pressure and consequence on the s

russia has really stuck by its principles of intervention is it not there. in danger of being isolated bearing in mind the continual vetoing of the sanctions in the un security council and of course the supplying of military hardware to syria although most of course says that this is not being used against civilians but this what does it do for russia's reputation and indeed its relations after this crisis is over. well we'll see we'll see i think doing the right of the right thing and not simply following somebody is somebody is a catastrophic policy is something which makes makes me proud is something which eventually will be borne out of the right course of action on the right policy. under these very difficult circumstances and. if i'm not mistaken the united states is sixty vetoes on the palestinian issue alone so why don't you. question my american colleagues about the impact of the image of the united states in the middle east of the continuous middle sometimes even between their own presidential and secretary of state public statements so you know veto is a part of the u.n. charter there is nothing wrong about casting it when you feel the need to do so many

of assad's top security chiefs were killed some reports are now saying that assad may have left a mascot's for the coast city of latakia russia and china vetoed a u.n. un security council resolution that could have led to more sanctions against syria but also would have been attached to chapter seven of the u.n. charter which could authorize the use of force and susan rice in the white house have. showered the bow with condemnation and the talk of the use of chemical weapons is also getting louder what could happen next what a post assad syria be thrown into even more chaos here this gustus with me is christopher swift fellow at the university of virginia law school's center for national security law christopher thanks for joining us tonight good to be back so overall just what's your take in terms of what we've seen lately where the fighting has ratcheted up where we see damascus really take center stage or you saw the suicide bombing yesterday and now maybe assad isn't in damascus anymore maybe he's fled we will we don't know where assad is we hear all sorts of reports yesterday's bombing is very significant and significant symbolically in that the attack took place

the region what about the consequences of the divisions we're seeing between russia and china and other un member security council members what what's the implication the impact of all of that now. well we know what it is because we did the right embassador rights and others would like to put in a chapter seven un mission which would give them the right not just the sanctions but the right to use military force russia and china see that as an immediate danger and don't forget there are the russians see this as much as part of a much larger picture the chinese see forces trying to encircle them in china russia sees attacks on its own president and against his own country by n.g.o.s and various outside groups so they look at this may say well we could be the next target they could go after regime change in our countries because our countries lie outside the purview of the british or american. nato crowd and therefore they know that their countries are also on the target list if this regime change policy continues from libya to syria and then pass through to iraq so that the government of russia and china are defend

syria's main opposition group has said that the syrian people are suffering because russia used its veto on the un security council to prevent international action being taken against the assad regime what did the opposition want from the talks then in moscow. i think the only thing that the opposition wants at this point and alliance with the western countries and the countries in the gulf that are backing them is regime change in damascus they have rejected the initial peace plan that was put forward by kofi anon and the united nations that was in the door of the syrian government by other forces throughout the region by russia as well as china but the backers of the syrian national congress and the syrian so-called free syrian army have opposed any effort aimed at dialogue to bring about a political solution to this crisis what is happening now is that more arms are being shipped to neighboring countries perhaps turkey into syria and we've seen the results of this with the escalation of fighting around the capital of damascus so the emphasis should be on some type of negotiated settlement but the syrian governm

un mission nears an end. the united nations security council remains divided on how to proceed. russia is blocking attempts on how to seek renewal of the mandate with the threat of sanctions. many hope for concerted u.n. action after the massacre, but the diplomatic wrangling continues, and so did the killings. >> and middle east analyst and author joins us now in the studio to talk more about this. russians have warned that the conflict is becoming more sectarian. are we going to see an all-out civil war in syria? >> that is unfortunately indeed the past we see evolving. what started out as civil unrest against regime in justice and as a quest for change has now really become a full-fledged civil war -- what started out as civil unrest against regime injustice. this makes it so complicated to really solve the issue. there is the government that still assumes it can crush this rebellion, and there is an opposition that is getting stronger and stronger, militia- type of opposition, that also believes it can crush the regime militarily, but in both cases, it will not work. >> the west ha

un security council's decisions and you wish. well the foreign minister was addressing and outlining russia's stance on syria as a whole responded to comments the small sco was supporting the assad government saying they simply wasn't the case russia wasn't supporting one particular side at all that they were committed to the kofi annan peace plan that was only by both sides putting down their weapons that we could see peace with regards to the syrian people he said it's up to them to decide the future for their country not any kind of foreign power but it's natural for those they tell us that we need to convince to step down voluntarily that is simply unrealistic but this is not about our preferences likes or dislikes he will not step down not because we back him up but because he has the support of a significant part of the country's population so a good lover of their outlining russia's stance on the ongoing syrian crisis which continues to see people dying in the middle eastern countries it's all comes of course ahead of important meetings between himself and u.n. peace on envoy kofi annan later on tonight artie's peter all

russia and china have vetoed another western backed resolution of the un security council which threatened syria with new sanctions and could have pave the way for military intervention. also this of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu extends his blameless to include lebanon saying both iran and hezbollah were behind the blast and ball garia that left eight people dead. and british intelligence mimics the very hackers it's fighting against with the country's security committee calling for the launch of covert operations aimed at attacking cyber criminals. from a new center here in moscow this is twenty four hours a day the u.s. and its allies a failed to push an anti a sad resolution through the u.n. security council for the third time russia and china have once again vetoed the motion for the latest from new york let's cross now to. why exactly have moscow and beijing stop this latest draft resolution dead in its tracks. well simply put russia and china used their double veto efforts within the security council on the draft resolution on syria because they have said over and over t

un security council resolution that would threaten damascus with sanctions. >> coming up in about 15 minutes, we will speak to the editor in chief in russia and global affairs magazine. that is live in moscow. it still to come, we will have an exclusive report radicalism is suspending their control. hungary is under increasing pressure to arrest a man suspected of being a notorious nazi war criminal. the 97-year-old is accused of assisting in the murder of more than 15,000 jews when he was a police chief and hungary. >> protests outside of the man who is believed to be one of the most-wanted nazi criminals. he is suspected of participating in the murders of 15,000 jews. acting on information from the nazi hunting organization, a reporter found him quietly in this apartment. there has been calls for authorities to act. authorities say their process has been slowed because the events happened so long ago. >>that leads to frustration from campaigners to say the case is strong. >> a trial certainly will not take place in hungary. they protect him. the police and prosecutors knew very well where he was and did not do anything about it. there is no reason to beli

trying to push article seven into the new un security council resolution on syria which doesn't rule out foreign military intervention is one of the points which russia and china are strongly against and we're now even getting the right specifically from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton recently said that if russia and china don't change their position on syria they will be the violence in syria is continuing and more lives on civilians and ordinary people are lost every day. while the syrian crisis fills the headlines as a massive effort to keep on rest in another country off the radar bahrain's authorities are doing their best to silence the popular protest searching hospitals for wounded activists and cracking down on foreign journalists trying to cover the uprising more on that still to come for you here on r.t. . but first u.s. agents are on their way to london for the olympics reportedly to boost security at major airports the news emerged just days after a private security firm contracted by the british government said it could not provide the stuff needed it will be up to the police and the army to make up the shortfall a solution

now in a draft resolution of the un security council it authorizes force against the assad regime if the syrian army fails to halt military actions within ten days russia and china say the approach is on balance better fighting between rebels and the army meanwhile has spilled into foreign refugee camps inside syria as that is where for national found you may well find some of the images coming up in a report step as. well conflict in syria and its seventeenth month hari find proof of cold blooded violence continues to emerge this photo has appeared in some middle east where. sides it apparently shows the bodies of palestinian refugees who earlier disappeared in the troubled province of homs while only five corpses are seen in the picture health officials reported that there were fourteen of them all identified as members of the palestine liberation army in syria there p.-l. a later confirmed that the man when you conscripts coming back from a training camp when they were kidnapped three more are still missing most palestinian factions in syria have blamed the armed opposition for this and they wanted to both weaken the regime and spread the spear amon

two drop resolutions circulating right now within the security council one has been proposed by russia which calls for an three month extension of the un supervision mission in syria the other which is now drafted by european countries and supported by the us calls for this calls for chapter seven which allows for the security council to authorize economic sanctions among other things against the syrian government if the government does not comply with kofi annan six point peace plan what's missing according to what's been reported is that the draft proposed by western countries does not indicate any consequences for the opposition in syria if they do not comply with the peace plan so while kofi annan is asking for the security council to adopt with one voice you still have huge divisions taking place within the united nations and of course this is this is coming more than sixteen months after this crisis began in syria. want to put a new york appreciated we want to moscow tough negotiations been taking place with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov the syrian national council the main opposition alliance those talks no meeting

will not will not help the situation the crisis in syria russia has also drafted its own resolution and submitted it to the security council for the un supervision mission in syria to be extended for another three months now the international monitor kofi annan on has asked for the security council to put joint pressure on the syrian government and the armed opposition group to keep them from continuing this violence to have them essentially cease fire but russia believes that the resolution the drug that's been drafted by western countries is only putting pressure on the syrian government is not balancing the circumstances at all now the latest news is that these high profile deaths that happened within the assad regime i mean what are the implications of that and does it mean we're any closer to an end to the crisis there. i don't think it means that there's any any way of being closer to an end of the crisis if anything it's exacerbating the violence and the deaths that are taking place in syria we heard washington officials say that the situation in syria is spiraling out of control defense secretary of the u.s. leon panetta said

the new un security council resolution on syria which doesn't rule out foreign military intervention which first of all also is not going to there's any one document is one of the points which russia and china are strongly against and are now even getting through and specifically from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton recently said that if washington trying to don't change their position on syria they will be clearly this also isn't making coffee on the job any easier since he's trying to unite the international community currently it's not happening right now but the violence in syria is continuing and more lives on civilians and ordinary people are lost every day indeed you go in you we make the mention about article seven possibly said to be discussed at the united nations that could allow for some type of military intervention i understand. in the very near future the u.k. will be tabling a un meeting the idea is they will be further discussing the possibility of implementing article seven want to see what comes of that artie's. central moscow thank you. well while the syrian crisis fills the headlines there's a massive effort to keep on rushed in another country off

un security council failed to pass a resolution that would have threatened sanctions against syria's leadership for more on what happened without u.n. resolution earlier i was joined by court order to correspondent maria. well the reason russia and china both use their veto power on this western draft resolution is because they said that it put all the pressure and called for sanctions on just the syrian government russia said that in order for there to be a national transition council created in syria there needs to be i dial log between the syrian government and the syrian opposition that is what kofi annan six point peace plan calls for and of course you know russia's position is that if the international community is only putting the pressure and consequences on the syrian government and threatening the syrian government with sanctions if it doesn't meet its requirements of a cease fire and other other items laid out in the kofi annan six point peace plan then the armed opposition is not incentivized in any way to come to a negotiating table with the syrian government and at the end of the day russia and china said that we need to get both parties at a table to begin a dialogue to put their weapons down and begin a dialo
