it's. happening to the global economy. some prisoners. are still a long. as. those so many years. some are. longing for justice. those so many years of. memory. has.

made. of the world with the. driving force of the global economy. together with.

russia is continuing to exert its influence in the middle east and not just as a peace negotiator multi-million dollar deals are being signed on a regular basis and now their prime minister of lebanon has come to moscow with his check book ahead of his visit saw one hundred eighty took time to sit down with us here at r.t. . i had then well met have welcome to the r.t.e. interview with great pleasure i would like to welcome lebanon's prime minister sheikh saad and heidi i know hello prime minister hello had thought that given that in few days and do you think that is a mission of the political crisis in iraq will have a positive impact on lebanon and could lead to resolution of the political crisis there as well. i think that the mean problem here is that the key issue is ignored i mean about a fear of peace for everybody in one thousand a new one there was a peace conference in madrid then there was also the arab summit conference in

beirut where the participants came up with the air peace initiative but now the peace process is being destroyed by different amendments which will lead us to nowhere the principle behind the resolutions which were supported by everyone demand that israel should follow the resolutions there would have been no need to talk about arms and other problems of this peace process not been buried in the eighteen nineteen he said we face many difficulties today because israel denies palestinians their legal rights refuses to return the golan heights to syria she will farms on the far shore. to lebanon but there are peace initiative was adopted by israel doing that then a national community has an obligation here that needs to know that we can only solve problems in the region through a fair peace for all of us. this thing that israel is a responsible for the deadlock in the peace process which must not only is it responsible israel is the main reason why the process failed with the thing yahoo's government is not able and nor is willing to continue with the peace process what

role could freshet play in promoting the peace process in the middle east and russia participate in the madrid conference and that is part of this process but it is also part of the court ted mediating the israeli palestinian talks therefore i think russia could play a very important role does mean your friends in the arab world we need to use our relations with russia in order to communicate the arab stance on things to the international community because it is very unnerving to see that in just as done by israel to palestinians as well as to lebanon and syria who can no longer ignore that israel is trying to pose its own agenda and keep seizing lands daily unfortunately the world is not doing anything about it this is unacceptable in all aspects of international human and religious it goes against the geneva convention and any other regulations israel is breaking all international conventions when everybody knows that he had relationship with the russian leaders is

a very good what key issues will be discussed and this is it. and i'm going to offer politically relations with russia are very important to us we would like these relations to be economically beneficial as well will also like to find out how russia could assist in equipping our army and security forces in this respect we're going to propose some ideas start russian friends we have been promised certain assistance and lebanon is ready to work out a plan for purchasing russian weapons lebanon has purchased arms from russia in the past and now we're trying to figure out if we could get some discounts on weapons for the lebanese army and security forces and and what about jets. we will study that issue during our visit our pilots are going through. training and hopefully this was it will be successful and to what our president has started many of you know what areas can expect agreements to be signed with russia we are considering signing an agreement on call church and between our countries ministers

of justice we hope that agreements and other areas will be stated properly especially those concerning our normans for the lebanese army and yes i know of at whose say they have russia maintains its position regarding the many to national tribes you know on the killing of former prime minister hundred eighty and fully supports it what is your standpoint on this position here. it is a natural position since russia is driven by they have justice and it is now over abandon that and that is why we're grateful to russia for this position which we consider to be natural because russia supports lebanon not only in the matters related to the international trade buno but also in everything lebanon had to go through over the past decades with all the wars both in two thousand and six and the earlier russia has always been on lebanon side what kind of relationship to have with the syrian government now. that we've got wonderful relations we keep up

contact our ministers keep in touch with their syrian counterpart i hope that the gap between us will get smaller i want to develop a special relationship with syria will be beneficial for us in terms of politics security economic and social policy we are constantly working on maintaining this kind of relationship which is made up of political relations between the two countries economic ties as well as relations between the governments that's what you done your visit to iran at the end of the month what will your talks be about there. and the time of the visit is not defined yet and we hope that it will take place and that will cover all issues on the agenda in our talks i was open about talking to a monster president degenerate during his visit to beirut we corporate would. randa number of heroes in the energy sector they're giving us large incentives in order to enter the market we corporate in politics too and our position there is that any kind she has the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes we hope that our

entire region will be a nuclear free zone in terms of peaceful initiatives we consider ourselves to be part of the league of arab states and we shall never support and you want to opposing the international community lebanon as an independent state where our place in the world which will protect it based on these principles we have certain disagreements with iran on some issues whether we are in complete agreement on a number of others be they at the end that he has government is currently in a tough situation that was by the so-called witnesses and they had already as this nation investigation if i were going to resolve it. i wouldn't call it a tough situation while agreed that this issue is important and that the cabinet must suggested today that there be it is around the question was a body of authority should be appointed to consider the case due to certain political reasons some members are suggesting it should go to the council of justice while we believe the regular court has

a preferred option the cabinet ministers are discussing this issue and we shall achieve the decision that will satisfy all parties and my opinion is that this issue should be passed on from the cabinet to the regular court where these false witnesses will be tried and not the five you met why aren't you willing to satisfy the opposition's requirements to step back from the special tribunal in order to keep the peace in the country and the interim while. we have created the government which initially was a national unity government with no such concept as pro-government or position forces we must be united it would be a political mistake for anyone to consider themselves to be part of the opposition while being part of the government that's number one number. two is that there is indeed concerns about the special tribunal but i think that it would be wrong to talk about this under current circumstances it will require sobriety and a dialogue people need to calm down and accents of the fighting leads us nowhere at

the end of the day both have to live together in our country and it keep up the dialogue or god forbid would develop different views then the country will have a problem with whom has got back to negotiating to the country requires peace and that's the most important thing yes we indeed still have some disagreements but is it really the way out there must be peace otherwise there is no way to achieve positive results in the dialogue how can an emotional person be in dialogue with other people if i keep saying it all the time that we need to calm down the lebanese people need an opportunity to live a peaceful life because people are tired of all the discord and we must do everything to achieve it and know. something that if pressure on you on the part of the opposition builds up you'll have to resign is that possible. then. i haven't felt much pressure on me and i think that pressure is being put on other

people rather than me but i saw resignation i was elected by the lebanese people the majority express their trust in me so that we could form a government i became the prime minister thanks to the support of the major already and i am said to continue working together with everyone. thank you mr prime minister and thank you. mr is that so much. to give a real. welfare state long live the welfare state this is still broken up with almost no one taking responsibility. more news today. and these are the images cold world has been seeing

moment. it has been an incredible season for myself for all of us. physically and mentally especially. to come here you know we have always kept believing in asd and our team in the car sort of i keep believing in myself and here today was a special day all around. now in tennis robin so doing is up to four from the world rankings after losing two french open finals he began to take the paris masters sailing storm through the first set six one but made a lot more resistance in the second phase forcing her tie break but the swede stormed through it seven one to take the match in just over an hour now afterwards admitted his history of failure at roland garros had made him even more determined to get picturing here. was the last great i mean the first set was really good i

started off really well. i was afraid it was going to scratch. or bite my tongue. just now third time you know i really wanted to win this one member to get up in. the women's world number two. says russia needs to invest more in the sport to keep producing talent she made the comments after being named russia's tennis player of the year usually was voted the best male player of the year the world number ten won two tones in twenty ten and got to the u.s. open semifinals while it's of the over got to the semi's wimbledon and the u.s. open she spoke openly about the highs and lows to our own course there and sent out a warning about the future of russian tennis. of course there was a great year for me it was a great experience if they are the last year. i had a tough surgery and there was no trout will be able to play this year and it's just you know happen this year that a lot of

a lot of success of course i had some ups and downs but overall it's been it's been great and i'm happy that i was here that i got this award here today when i interview athletes i usually ask what kind of mistakes have you made in the past year and what will you be focusing your attention on in the coming year or so i think i learned bob myself every day being a professional athlete and now i have an experience that. can help me to go through a lot of different things but i think throughout this year i'll just try to be a little bit more careful with my scheduling it is very important just try to be at the very important tournaments and it just so you know keep believing in myself and keep trying my best all the time that's i think that's the main goal for the next year we still plenty of promise he actually is here today but you and your generation of players have set the bar pretty high so what do you think about this next generation of players. you know yes we did set up bar pretty high and now i

hope i'm hoping we're great example and that's why today during the ceremony we sell so many on the current players that you walk in and call championships out of the fourteen under eighteen and under sixteen so i think we would god sell more great talents behind us and i believe they can i choose a lot like like we did but that i'm sure they will overcome us in the future what would you say was your most memorable experience during the last season the most memorable experience. i think i can't just pick one this year i had i had a few of them of course reaching the finals at wimbledon and most final singles and doubles and then reaching the final i use open and then play in my must series winning all my. three matches and they're out with robin overall has been a i think a great experience and i can't i just felt like he said you know just be quiet and

i think i just should you know should be have been with the consistency during this year and just look forward for the next one what do you think is the biggest obstacle on the way to advancement so brushing tennis today the biggest obstacle i think we still have to build up a structure governing structure it is very important to have facilities and i think we're still lacking facilities in the culture there they're not big enough or they're not good enough to for their preparation know their high level as well as so i think that's going to be the biggest challenge for ash in the future. now let's get some action from the n.f.l. where the new york jets left it late against cleveland grabbing a winning touchdown in overtime with just sixteen seconds left it was nip and tuck throughout this one the jets pulling level in the second ten all with a twenty five yard touchdown from jerricho cotchery. cleveland them from themselves
