thousand and ten two thousand and seven but i believe we'll get all the lessons and both create the unique atmosphere that all the fans will enjoy this is a definitely a great event for russian hockey and for just all the sports lovers out there in the country but it's also part of the whole chain off very successful bid sochi two thousand and fourteen and we've got the football world championship in two thousand and eighteen what does all this mean for russia i believe it says appreciation goes it all of russia into. world because you can't get that for granted. because they see this company that has caused them out again to create. jones around to be a first class approach in the asians but they decided that was the wrong because a.t.o. lies that a lot of you was just wrong that there's also another competition obviously still going on here but it's just love of the current world hockey championship and russia is going to play in the semifinal today against finland what do you think or

are the chances yes the majority. of bats away against russia by the russian one and i do believe that russia will them to be a good feeling and our boys are you the go thank you very much good luck. this was the president of the continental hockey league alexander he did it so everybody has now we dream of course for two thousand and sixteen course there's quite a lot of excitement here at this current world hockey championship where russia is still supposed to play in the semifinal final against finland later on friday artie's they are reporting from the slovakian capital brought us up. at least one person reported killed a security first forces in syria opened fire on thousands out an anti-government protest after friday prayers that despite the government's values not to shoot out the opposition international pressure is mounting on syria's government over the

brutal crackdown at least eight hundred reported killed thousands detained in the two months on arrest the e.u. and us how to impose sanctions against syria washington is seemingly debating whether the eleven year rule of president bashar assad is lawful or he's got a cheeky on reports that many believe the u.s. may be laying the foundation for drastic action against the regime. who easily jeered him an international leader and who is not it seems america will decide a white house source said the obama administration is edging closer. to declaring our son's ruling syria illegitimate and that it would be just the first step we will continue to work with our international partners in the e.u. and elsewhere on additional steps to hold syria responsible for its gross human rights abuses sounds familiar the united states is helping to lead an international effort to defer deter further violence put in place unprecedented sanctions to hold

the gadhafi government accountable when the u.s. says it's going to hold someone responsible expect action once the u.s. has officially declared the syrian government illegitimate. it it would open the door. true various steps taken to remove that government but the self-proclaimed position of the us as the world's policeman and judge of which government is legitimate or not doesn't sit well with everyone who is in fear of this arrogance the. president. in government or not. even some of the u.s. long time allies like the yemeni president seem to be intimidated by the zest of the white house to act as the arbiter of who will to power in the world. who are

are you president of the united states a president of the world when condemning government atrocities in different countries in the middle east and north africa the u.s. claims the higher moral ground the clearing human rights is the basis for its involvement but the critics say this is a smokescreen for the real reason for interference you know sourcing and the d.n.a. of us foreign policy or more and more from our we're our three. in a movie. or story. or how commode. we cross the country and. there's a program america's self-proclaimed humanitarian involvement has led it to take sides in the libyan civil war the u.s. has pledged extensive support for the rebels there senior political figure representing believe again transitional national council mahmoud jibril as lieve been studied in the u.s. for years is now back in washington asking for money from gadhafi has frozen assets

i am currently drafting legislation at the request of the state department and the administration there will authorize the transfer of available cash assets to the council so that they will have available money it will not come from the american taxpayer it will come from colonel gadhafi himself newly released wiki leaks cables show the u.s. had been funneling money to syria's opposition for several years now but some say the help comes with strings attached and nobody gives away money for nothing or arms and the u.s. sees the opportunity of putting in a friendly early american government response of american interests the coalition efforts in libya have reached a dead end with the country now a military stalemate in the meantime civilian casualties there continue to grow. analysts say foreign involvement in syria could trigger

a much worse conflict syria's in the heart of the arab world and if it explodes or implodes it will affect all its neighboring countries iraq saudi arabia jordan israel lebannon. and they're all likely to get involved in a collapsing more rewards more and serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another reason say some to go after our side relying on iran as your best friend in. only strategic ally is not a viable way forward critics say the u.s. takes on the role of world policeman not pleased on its inherent altruism but rather out of self-interest and the bigger question was increased seventy eight the wall to see for or have to stabilize the more i'm going to take our reporting from washington. while scars of war in syria's opposition against calling for external military help russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov tells our teenagers

participation in the libyan conflict has set a dangerous precedent. this includes libya cases created the temptation for money opposition groups in the region to spark similar situations so the expectation that the west would keep a military complex taking on sides it's a fairly alarming prospect i hope because. it's crucial both solve their problems independently. in libya rebels are said to ever again control the besieged city of misrata with the help of nato warships and air strikes a top libyan official is in washington for talks with the u.s. administration on more support and possible recognition british anti-war activist kate hudson though thinks the poor coalition's policy is making a mockery of international law. when the u.n. security council voted to take action against libya it was designed as they said to protect civilians and now it seems that with the escalation of the air attacks they

are hitting as it seems more targets we've heard from a u.n. agency expressing to the security council that civilians are suffering in a number of ways shortages of food and so on as a result of the airstrikes this again raises the question of international law it's not legal to intervene within civil wars and i think inviting. those leaders to washington for talks shows that obama is disregarding that aspect of international law it's trampling upon the very legal structure that our states have built up over decades it is a regime change war that's absolutely apparent that of course again is illegal under international law but they will do that until they achieve their ends and frankly it does look as though now that they may intend to target execute. stay with us here on r.g.p. you still have those are the forgotten life of the russian provinces. traditionally
