he. faces a race against the clock to get. through the senate democrats see that majority cuts in. global power shift the asia pacific region is the new center of financial power and influence says russia's foreign minister has taken over from japan as the world's second biggest economy and. the u.s. . and.

russia's 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 the prime minister of lebanon has come to moscow with his checkbook it took time to talk with us. and then one might have welcome to the archery interview with great pleasure and i would like to welcome lebanon's prime minister shakes out i head in and i know hello prime minister hello have thought that and. do think that is a machine 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 the main problem here is that the key issue is ignored i mean about a fair peace for everybody in one thousand nine hundred 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 arab peace initiative but now the peace process is being destroyed by different amendments which will lead us nowhere the principles behind the resolutions which were supported by everyone demand that israel should follow the resolutions that would have been no need now to talk about arms and other problems have this peace process not been buried in the one nine hundred ninety s. we face many difficulties today because israel denies palestinians their legal rights refuses to return the golan heights to syria the ship of farms. and geisha to lebanon but the arab peace initiative was adopted why is israel doing that the international community has an obligation here it needs to know that we can only solve problems in the region through a fair peace for all this into israel as extensible for the deadlock in the peace process not only is it responsible israel is the main reason why the process failed netanyahu is government is not able nor is it willing to continue with the peace

process what role could freshet play in promoting the peace process in the middle east russia participated in the madrid conference and is part of this process it is also part of the quartet mediating in the israeli palestinian talks therefore i think russia could play a very. role it has many 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's very unnerving to see the injustice done by israel to palestinians as well as to lebanon and syria we can no longer ignore this israel is trying to impose its own agenda and keep seizing land daily unfortunately the world is not doing anything about it this is unacceptable in all aspects international human 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 issue is really discuss this is it. going to politically relations with russia very important to us we would like these relations to be economically beneficial as well we would also like to find out how russia could assist lebanon and equipping on me and security forces in this respect we're going to propose some ideas for russian friends we've 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 are trying to figure out if we could get some discount on weapons for lebanon's army and security forces and us and what about jets. we will study the issue during our visit our pilots are going through training and hopefully this visit will be successful end to what our president has started they have in what areas can expect agreements to be signed with russia we're considering

signing an agreement on culture and between our countries ministries of justice we hope that agreements in other areas will be studied properly especially those concerning elements for the lebanese army. this i know of russia maintains its position regarding the un international tribunal on the killing of former prime minister honey and fully supports it what is your standpoint on this position here but it's a natural position since russia is driven by the idea of justice and has never abandoned it and that's why we are grateful to russia for the position which we consider to be natural because russia supports lebanon not only in the matters related to the international tribunal but also in everything lebanon had to go through over the past decades with all the wars both in two thousand and six and earlier russia has always been on lebanon's side. what kind of relationship to have with the syrian government. we've got wonderful relations we keep up contact

how ministers keep in touch with their syrian counterparts i hope that the gap between us will get smaller we want to develop a special relationship with syria it will be beneficial for us in terms of politics security economic and social policy we're constantly working on maintaining this kind of relationship which is made up of the political relations between the two countries economic ties as well as relations between the governments doesn't it on your visit in iran at the end of the month what will your talks be about there. the time of the visit is not defined by us 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 iran's president ahmadinejad's during his visit to beirut we cooperate with iran in a number of areas in the energy sector they giving us large incentives in order to enter all markets we cooperate in politics to an opposition there is that any

country has a 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 anyone opposing the international community lebanon is an independent state we have our place in the world and we shall protect it based on these principles we have certain disagreements with iran on some issues but we are in complete agreement with them on a number of others. the day that the lebanese government is currently in a tough situation there was about the so-called witnesses and they hurried as this nation investigation i was going to resolve it. i wouldn't call it a tough situation we all agreed that this issue is important and that the cabinet must address it today the debate is around the question which body of authority should be appointed to consider the case due to certain political reasons some members. suggesting that it should go to the council of justice while we believe

a regular court is a preferable option to cabinet ministers that discussing this issue and we should achieve the decision that will satisfy all parties my opinion is that this issue should be passed on from the cabinet to a regular court where these false witnesses will be trying to. you know why aren't you well into satisfy the opposition's requirements to step back from the special tribunal in order to keep the peace in the country and that would turmoil. here. we have created the government which initially was a national unity government and with no such concept as pro-government or opposition 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 are indeed concerns about the special tribunal but i think that it would be wrong to talk about this under current circumstances there require sobriety and dialogue

people need to calm down and act sensibly fighting leads us nowhere and at the end of the day we all have to live together in our country and keep up dialogue if god forbid we develop different views than the country will have a problem with that we must get back to the negotiating table 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 dialogue how can an emotional person be in dialogue with other people 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 we must do everything to achieve it and know the hand of the father something that if pressure on you on the part of the position builds up you'll have to resign is that possible. then. i have. much pressure on me and i think the pressure is being put on other people

rather than oh me as for resignation i was elected by the lebanese people the majority expressed their trust in me so that we could form a government i became prime minister thanks to the support of the majority and i'm set to continue working together with everybody i love. you know that they think you mr prime minister thank you. so much for was that so much i was about to feel and i think i might give it really be rightful the welfare state long live the welfare state the system is broken and bankrupt with almost no one taking responsibility.

for trying to get some sleep on the plane in no where here again certain moment everything is going very fast but i think when you have some time like ahead in the plane you try to realise the whole thing a bit so it's really crazy in some way where you're disappointed of course but. it was a great great battle. sebastian fully deserved the chairmanship we drove very well and we had some good races a year. to come a long way in such a short period of time so a lot of positives of course to look at obviously for me it's a little bit disappointing at the moment but i look back at this year being still with a lot of positive memories. moving on and russia's women have won the volleyball world championships in japan the squad beat brazil in a tough five sets you know they were the size of tiebreaker fifteen eleven to secure their seven world title because we like government are one of the twenty most valuable player award has just come to the bronze medal. in tennis robin so

yard touchdown from jericho culture in cleveland then found themselves playing catch up as twenty two thirteen down to just a couple of minutes left out of the two quarterbacks coach mccoy and one hundred massaquoi to tie the game so it went into overtime and it just seconds after that mark sanchez to this touchdown pass to some tony of holmes to give the jets a twenty six twenty victory. and let's have a look at how the games on sunday nights where they were going spare time indianapolis buffalo jacksonville and chicago. and also taking out victories where miami undone that dallas beat the new york giants thirty three twenty eight this was a big win for seattle over ours ira some francisco absently was in overtime and new england. in golf robert greig s. and robert sacha have kept their p.g.a. tour cards next season after they finished first and second respectively at the children's miracle network classic in florida that just saw his four shot lead from

bets on their first test choices or it is likely to retain his place as australia's specialist spin at the gabba but the selectors have also named the left arm off spinner have a dhoti and leg spinner steve smith young batsman can stagger suit and was man the middle order variety as well as coverage of the simon cattish who returns to first class cricket this week after a thumb injury with ice captain michael clarke who has a sore back. would be a far away from the last of the period it's all about others there's been a bit of doom and gloom around this drug about about the performances of the day in the last little bit but. happy to see some of the younger guys standing up in first class cricket and looking for this this week's rout of matches getting underway and seeing some more great performances and you know when the team is actually with us the squads actually trim back getting to brisbane and preparing the best way we can to make sure we start the series very very well so we got really excited about i
