for people's debts calling on greece to leave the euro zone. am people here in moscow and nationwide prepare to celebrate russia day it's twenty years since the country staged its first free presidential elections just one year after declaring independence from discarded union. that's our interview with nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen speaking earlier to my colleague he's a fan of the alliance actions in libya and insisted the organization has no plans to act in syria. thank you very much for joining us here on r t it's much appreciated i want to get straight to our first question the u.k. and france want a u.n. security council resolution condemning the syrian government and your opinion are we having for libya two point zero here you know i would like to stress that nato
2:34 am
has no intention whatsoever to intervene in syria at the same time lots of critics expect that that could be the case if we see a resolution russell saying that the fact that it's even being debated is going to cause more violence in syria. there might be some kind of intervention do you think not if the u.n. goes ahead it goes ahead rather and approves that resolution once again let me stress we have no intention to intervene in syria having said that i share the international condemnation of the brutal attacks against the civilian population in syria the only way forward is to accommodate the legitimate aspirations of the syrian people let's look at the lack of an entry strategy into libya it could be said that you were dragged into this rushing to regime change have you accidently gone to war in libya definitely not on the contrary we
2:35 am
considered this very carefully we laid out certain conditions that should be fulfilled before we took action and the decisive factor was that the united nations are just wrong correct me if i'm wrong but obviously the u.n. resolution was laid out for a no fly zone and lots of people would consider what's happening in libya to be much more than a no fly zone actually the u.n. security council resolution goes beyond a no fly zone cording to the u.n. security council resolution we are mandated to. protect the civilian population in libya taking all necessary measures and that's exactly what we're doing right now now all the necessary measures if i might speak of what admiral pollo has legitimized strikes on any command center in libya i just want to clarify for some of our viewers who have seen homes bombs they've seen civilian buildings blown to
2:36 am
pieces does daffy in a car on a phone or in a hospital on a phone constitute a command center for your purposes when you say any means. i would like to stress that we are not targeting individuals we hate. military. targets. and of course control centers can be used to plan and organize attacks against civilians show amount of control centers military targets that's what i'd like to read a question to you that was written to us by one of our viewers on facebook. who's from paris france wants to know why nato is bombing metropolitan areas in libya civilians are being killed what do you say to. we do all we can to avoid civilian casualties we are in libya to protect civilians against attacks and this is the reason why all commandos very very carefully. legitimate
2:37 am
military targets. has to mediate in libya they sent an envoy and as mikhail margelov arrived intensified bombing of libya begad why is that. there's no link between the two events we appreciate all attempts to find a political solution to the crisis in libya because obviously there is no military solution only we need to. political process having said that i still think that a strong military pressure on the good after regime will facilitate a fruitful political process mr mcc.l.o.y. yesterday in fact stated and you just mentioning that that the military conflict doesn't have to be there means that it could be resolved peacefully he's stating that he believes that both the rebels and the regime forces are ready to negotiate
2:38 am
that they both think that war is not the way out of this conflict so why are you still bombing libya with this information coming from the russian envoy that both sides are are ready to talk. we are continuing our operation because we still see gadhafi regime attacking each own population at each absolutely outrageous and you and has mandated an operation to protect civilians and we will continue. as long as the regime still attacks on people you know with our russian defense minister sort of call of yesterday and he believes that troops on the ground in libya are now a possibility do you think there will be troops under your command in the future. we have no intention to put troops on the ground in libya what if gadhafi doesn't back down. well i do believe that the combination of
2:39 am
a strong military pressure and reinforced political pressure will eventually lead to the collapse of the regime it may happen tomorrow it may take some weeks but we will stay committed on until we have fulfilled three very clear military objectives firstly a complete end to all attacks against civilians secondly withdrawal of gadhafi military forces and paramilitary forces to their barracks and thirdly. immediate and unhindered humanitarian access to the people in need. we would continue our old ration on. talk of post-war libya seems premature doesn't it given william hague and him seeing stating that nato as he sees it will be there until after christmas this of course all despite a ninety day deadline when do you think you'll leave the libyan people at peace.
2:40 am
well i'm not going to guess about any time frame what i can say is that we are prepared to stay committed as long as it takes to fully implement the u.n. mandate and that is to protect the civilian population against any attack what about the civilians that are being attacked in syria indiaman in bahrain. of course and that is that's a legitimate question the difference is that in libya we are operating on the basis of a un mandate and with strong support from contras in the region actually and number of countries in the region contribute actively to our operation for these reasons we are in libya. what do you say to critics who aren't convinced that nato is and goal is to protect civilians and that in fact is a regime change. we have been very open about our military
2:41 am
objectives. a complete into attacks against civilians withdrawal of gadhafi forces and humanitarian access these are all military objectives and we will continue on to they are met. in parallel there is a political track if you find by the international community. recently a group including the russian president called on afi to leave power. and. these two tracks are separate a military price and a political track but having said that i think it's hard to imagine a complete end to attacks against civilians in libya as long as gadhafi remains in power i'd like to move on to missile defense in europe if i'm a defense minister sort of called also said yesterday that he's been largely ignored by you in your plans for a.m.d. over europe of course you wouldn't accept that but the facts they certainly at this
2:42 am
stage speak for themselves don't they. no russia is definitely not ignored on the contrary we have invited russia to cooperate on missile defense the fact is that nato has decided to develop an nato based missile defense system because we want to protect our populations against. some who but we would all like will cooperate with our secretary standing or we are faced with file tax from who from russia. we faced with a common threat and this is the reason why we would like to see two independent missile defense systems a russian system and a nato system cooperate for instance by exchanging data the whole system would become much more effective that way to the benefit of the russian population and population nato countries you do understand that it sounds a little bit of
2:43 am
a contradiction there you talk about joint trust about a mutual threat and then about separate systems why want one system between nato and russia be acceptable to protect both sides from any kind of threat. because i don't think at the end of the day. the russian government and the russian people would accept to be subject to a common commitment. i think the russian nation as such would insist on having control of its own missile defense system and this is the reason why the most realistic approach would be to have two independent systems but with a common purpose but the commentators protection at all for your letters now mr rasmussen has been proposing a joint european defense system. and i think the best way to join efforts would be to relate to independent systems cooperate with
2:44 am
the aim to protect the russian people as well as people nato countries russia constantly claims that nato can't guarantee. that its interests will be protected why can't nato these guarantees. the best guarantee whatsoever would be to engage in close cooperation because close cooperation between russia and nato would clearly demonstrate that our missile defense is really a defense and it's not aimed at russia. let's face it. we do not consider russia threat to nato and nato does not constitute a threat to russia so let's join efforts let us cooperate but russia sees it as they can't go forward on promises why can't you daren't see russia on paper that
2:45 am
a missile defense system would not be directed towards them. very easy to guarantee it because we do not we don't have any intention to attack russia not whatsoever but to guarantee russia could get. it would be to engage in a close cooperation then for instance a step is a joint center where we could exchange data that would clearly demonstrate that this system is not aimed at russia. mr rasmussen the sox might demonstrate otherwise thank you very much for taking the time out to be live with us from brussels it's very much appreciated hope to see you again. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph brin straight the university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human

important than deciding on the permanent genetic future of life on earth. we stop stories here in our team believe in capitals been rocked by nato. heaviest airstrikes since the start of military operations bombings have reportedly claimed more than thirty lies and led to growing anger at foreign intervention. moscow agrees to lift a ban on european vegetables if the e.u. can guarantee they are free from the deadly e. coli bacteria surance came from president medvedev during russia e.u. talks the leaders also discussed russia's accession to the world trade organization and the situation in libya. also the e.u. prepares a new rescue package for bankrupt greece sparking massive protests against tougher cuts in the country there is outrage in germany where critics say they're tired of paying for people's debts calling on greece to leave the eurozone. and people here

in moscow and nationwide prepared to celebrate russian day it's twenty years since the country staged its first free presidential elections just one year after of declaring independence from the soviet union. well our news bulletin full is coming your way in just about fifteen minutes before that there will catch up with the latest in the world of sports and it's joining us now and a happy homecoming for one of russia's big basketball stars and the marina for me him keep. off the his switch to be n.b.a. and he watched his a former team get a vital victory last night we caught up with him to put the details in a much. hello there thanks for watching the sport and these are the headlines perfect start him the stunning defending champions two years scar in the russian basketball player

final. last red bull are flying again as vettel takes his six pole from seven races ahead of sunday's canadian grand prix. on the big countdown with a thousand days to go to the sochi winter paralympics athletes take time out from training to inspire others. first the fight to be crowned russian champions has got underway with winning the first game of the best of five finals against scar a late surge giving them the edge against the defending champions it is the fourth time in five years these teams of fate in the end of season finals and one or more of them saw him keep making a great start to these playoffs the seventy seven points the seventy two victory on the road gratian power forward there's my long top scoring to him he was sixteen points ball to make the beast and added fifteen gang to it is tonight again bt a scar raina and him can expect another tough encounter. but it's difficult measure
2:50 am
with some. plan or a renewal important for his going in and. trying to kind of jump on and off for his game and kind of surprised them and we did go over the route for sure the second years are much harder for us rather limited to try to play the game try to come to the fourth quarter we are going to be a little bit more nervous so that's our goal for. meanwhile one of hankies former stars to me famous golf is promising russia will not cut corners as they prepare for the upcoming european championships the denver nuggets player has been back in moscow ahead of the euro torn and which starts in the way into a month's time. caught up with him. despite it's not quite making it to the top of the bill just yet city my famous golf had already managed to make the headlines in north america he became part of a blockbuster multiplayer trade saw him move to denver nuggets and carmelo anthony

to the new york knicks well mozzies new team were knocked out of the first playoff round in the n.b.a. giving him an opportunity to visit home and prepare for the upcoming european championship in lithuania winning the continental trophy in twenty eleven will mean automatic qualification for the london olympics. i can't make any promises in regards to the euro basket but i can say that i'm sure the guys will perform at their best and no one will cut corners and i think that if i enjoy a cure and i encourage joins us we'll have better chances because of his experience to be a great help despite leaving russia still has a large fan base said his previous club called mozzie keeps in touch with them through his online blog and those lucky enough may even catch one of his master classes in the russian capital but where are the fans most dedicated in russia or the united states. when i played for khimki i saw the same people at
2:52 am
all the games it was a group of fans who form the majority of the audience and even followed the team to other cities in regards to the n.b.a. while they might have something similar although i personally never came across such a thing you just get a full audience of people who come to support the team but i never saw such a thing in the us when an organized group of fans would take up a large share of the audience and root for their team. fan support is not the only difference between the russian basketball league and the n.b.a. the american schedule is more intense with the regular season games sometimes held four times a week so the studying of the opponent shot practice or simply warm up takes center stage during practice providing plenty of room for individual skills. it is team play no one negates that but compared to europe it is somehow more individualized i would say the game is based on single players who play one on one
2:53 am
and win it they may score a goal just make a pass european basketball not to mention russia is slightly different people try to find other solutions to the difficulties that arise during the game. the russians will be hoping to qualify for the london olympics by winning the european championship in september it's hope that both russian and be a stars and break into langkow and to more famous golf will be available to help the team lithuania they acquired individual skills from the united states and their home bred team play is expected to be the winning formula. of r.t. moscow. now it is becoming a familiar story in formula one sebastian vettel has grabbed pole position again this time for sunday's canadian grand prix big claims rain could have a big say on who wins the red bull driver top qualifying to grab his six pole in seven races this season finishing just under two tenths of a second faster than ferrari's fernando alonso his teammate felipe massa and red

bull's other driver mark webber will start for on the grid respectively however unsettled weather is predicted and it could be the first time a race has been held on a wet circuit this season. i think we had a smooth qualifying and two very good runs we were able to use the first time a lot of the tire so all in all i'm very happy topically a big step but you know the main task comes tomorrow conditions are very likely to change so we will see some rain the question is when the how much so we will see but obviously you know you want to stop it but it's possible position to start from . wyler moto g.p. former champion casey stoner has taken pole for the british grand prix at silverstone the australian part will pressure on jorge lorenzo with the defending champion starting from third place on the grid behind italy's markets and cheli pole sitter stone is just seven points behind leader the renzo in the standings. elsewhere the two fastest men over one hundred metres this year have gone head to

2:57 am
managed to return to swimming and win the paralympics that's what inspired me and gave me strength i discovered a new world new people and new goals to achieve having got to know alicia. and the engines of whole band which consists of hearing impaired youngsters even those who once might have lost hope might gain it back again i believe it's my duty to share my experience and views with anyone who is interested no matter if they have disabilities or not for some of them it could be really encouraging i know it works as i've seen it with my own eyes many times. it's very nice if i may say she's a great example for all of us some people would have given up but once they saw her and you have a story they did and she helped us change our lives well done only so. despite her achievements many would still call people like alyssa logic in a disabled but in many respects they proved to be more able than all of us

robert more than your own party. great stuff now let's switch to tennis and andy murray will play joe will free to tsonga in sunday's final queen's brit beating four time champion andy roddick in the semi's in this warm up event for wimbledon queens is one of roddick's favorite torn routes but he could do little against mary he was the fast track to the blocks the world number four breaking roddick straight away to seize the initiative. and the scot never looked back beating roddick with his own weapon the american is known for his big serve but could only manage a paltry three aces while murray smashed thirteen including the one which sealed the first set six three in the two thousand and nine champions went on to wrap it up six three six one in just under an hour as an error prone roddick failed to find his way back into the match. up. well makes up for murray then is
2:59 am
a job free to some guy who notched up fourteen aces in his straight sets win against local hopeful and world number two fifteen james ward after losing the first set six three the lesser known brit did put up strong resistance in the second set he stormed to a four one lead but still lost it on a tie break so it is to tsonga will be aiming to clinch is first title in over twenty months after also humbling world number one rafael nadal in the last eight. i. am finally england's robert rock could clinch his maiden european tour title today he's a two shot lead going into the final round of the italian open rock hit five birdies while dropping just one shot to cart a sixty eight to his penultimate round and that put him top of the leaderboard on sixteen under six closer behind on fourteen under including local favorite francesco molinari also in that chase and track is j.b. kruger the south african double bogey the fourth hole but immediately made up for this blip with an eagle on the fifth. so that's the sport's more later.
