welcome back with r.t. live from moscow the headlines now good afi may be laid to rest but the controversy surrounding him and the song and speculation that could have taken a trove of potentially damaging secret stories are not desert. a georgian billionaire and critic of the current president is stripped of citizenship and threatened with expulsion from the country but all of this after announcing plans to run for the government. and the occupy wall street movement are ready for yet another round of worldwide protests to mark the g twenty summit and calls for governments to crack down on the global casino of currency trading. projects are out here we sit down with syria's foreign minister now to discuss how the government plans to stop the bloodshed that started in march and continues to this very day.

today we're talking to syrian minister of foreign affairs mr vali done one on that and thank you for joining us on the news that you expressed reserve at the last meeting of foreign ministers of arabic states in cairo and the situation is serious we're is the opposition welcomed them do you think the arab league has been playing a constructive room or that. unfortunately due to the so-called arab spring countries that had been playing a significant role in the arab league's operation are now busy with their own domestic issues and this doesn't help consolidate solutions hopefully this is the way she will be resolved in the short term and these countries will become a solution to guinea and consolidating the common arab cause this is first do you think it would be reasonable to discuss a country's problems without its participation. second proposal was made at this

consultative meeting to free syria's membership of the arab league this is very dangerous those participating countries spoke against this how could not imagine resolving common are big problems without syria. and thirdly this proposal contradicts the league's charter as the board of the arab states leaders at the pair to suspend or freeze membership a new yorker this now or was breached when making a decision on libya and we're all well aware of what happens then and what happened the un security council used the arab league's decision when adopting its resolution and then nato used this decision for its purposes when arabs to speak up with such proposals are paid understand the purpose of these actions in which is to undermine what remains of economy are of course. well you know as you know the opposition states that the syrian leadership has little time left keep them in the reforms announced by president bush. then saying that the syrian people again with their blood would you late in these reforms why is there such

a delay mn implementing this that. they found that first of all there is no delay lark on the contrary a universal reform program underway in syria will be implemented in a record six months compared to other countries including russia where reforms lasted for several years i repeat that this is a record short period of time and those who speak about reforms know that certain laws should be passed to see them through the included laws on political parties and parliamentary elections slated for next february there are also elections to local self-government bodies a law on the media should also be passed the commission has been set up to draft the country's new constitution. how fast should these things go these are crucial issues solutions to which will determine the face of the new syria you're really stick a democratic country a model example to other nations in the region these hasty action reasonable these

are serious problems that require serious approaches based on experience and international norms judging from that i would say that the country's leadership is not slowing down reforms are and the deadline set by the syrian president are very short and in less than six months the country will see these reforms carried out and that is why i'm asking and if the opposition really cares for the future of this country why it wouldn't be good dialogue as lay out some serious approaches to creating a new syria. as for the bloodshed or war let me ask you whether there's a regime anywhere in the world whose carcass is to kill its own citizens or rather isn't its direct purpose to protect its own citizens from terrorists or we are confronted with an armed terrorist groups who have nothing to do with reform these groups are being armed and financed. from abroad and every day syrian television reports new arrests of these groups members which are sowing terror with a lot of ject of today have all of them have to earn more money therefore we should

differentiate the national opposition which is that favor a political and economic reforms from these armed groups. and can you please tell us what the friends these groups belong to and who's giving them during simple would who are not on. according to our information these are al qaeda groups operating from iraq also traditionalist forces and muslim brotherhood units have been discovered these units are financed from two sources and by his knowledge organizations in the arab world including the gulf states as well as organizations based in european countries the second source is a blackman's and drug smugglers when nobody goes below a lot of statements or nadir the west one after another of his security forces continued to use violence against the protesters we actually saw the security forces and armored vehicles in the streets of it found in their own homes are soon steering our visit to syria where soon many troops are needed in syrian towns like councils. to start with the west only pretends it is worried about human

rights violations in syria in fact it was the west that imposed economic sanctions that have hit the interests of the syrian population so hard if they were this is an obvious discrepancy within the western approach to syria that they have a plan which clearly foresee the parents of the ruling regime in syria followed by its complete overthrow for why are they doing this want to minimize syria's influence in the region and force it to abandon its independent stance the west seems to think that economic sanctions and will help to topple our government though this is exactly why we should try to prevent this plan from being implemented secondly we have not used ties for seven months we did use the. in the very beginning to provide proper protection for our soldiers who were safe inside them but no tank has fired on the battlefield so far it is natural that no country would welcome a terrorist group financed and armed from of lot of these groups are

a threat to citizen security and the work of state institutions and schools that yesterday three children were killed in one family there was a baby girl among the victims who was not even seventeen months old they why is that what they call reforms or is it terror and who do you understand why i can openly confirm that we did deploy our security forces in the regions where militants are operating with the law well you will see a syrian opposition maintains the dresser security council resolution was supportive of the syrian government's position the various you say it would be still prevented foreign intervention into serious domestic affairs as you know russia proposed a new resolution through. which is under consideration now would further steps in we expect serious sale should be sneering solution be approved by which the current khaled meshal with the world. first of all we do not expect the west to approve russia's new resolution. secondly vetoing the resolution has created

elements of war syria would not only syria it gave us more time to implement reforms russia above all other states require as the syrian government to implement the reforms in question and maintain a comprehensive dialogue we did more than just make use of russia's veto we used to live russia's from our reforms process but the as we agree with russia that any foreign intervention into our domestic affairs as an example just as any attempts he makes economic sanctions if you consider syria since they infringe upon the interests of syrian citizen. in the course of our consultations it became clear that russia is even more demanding than only one reason or urging syria to leave reforms and maintain a comprehensive political dialogue. another issue here is that russia is resuming the proposed resolution gave new life to the security council itself by stripping the usa of its decision making well clearly on the international scale that's

a very important thing and just look at what they were not only did in libya iraq and afghanistan the truth is that the policy the united states is trying to implement here in our region is far from home via asked and the not even our own policy is a policy that serves israel's interests that only truth and i worked in the united states with ten years and i know this to be true right here in the. work ahead here i have taken steps to live the fact that we can only thank sions in place to get syria involved were true is russia playing and have all plans have been made with who we have and resolve the situation the rules you know and how to work a lot of product of the west and that is the european union usaid levied economic sanctions against us and that impede our economic development if they expected the sergeants to bring down the ruling regime quite naturally under such circumstances syria must rely on its own resources and capabilities i am here by saying. we have

enough strategic resources we have over a year's supply of food and basic products to meet the populations demand starting with grain and so on and secondly we need to develop economic ties with countries pursuing an independence policy in countries which haven't joined this western. i mean such countries as russia india malaysia and china and there are enough states with developed economies advantage events in science and technology and these are the states we shall develop our relations with and that's why relying on our own capacities and building cooperation with ranking states we hope to make it through the current situation pretty well us here. it seems good syracuse close to recognizing an actual council how will syria respond if this takes place. i don't want to get ahead of events but turkey knows the scope of syrian turkish relations we signed the intergovernmental agreements followed by growth in trade and cultural exchange and the end goal is to establish strategic relations between

the two countries we have been working towards this which in practice means that citizens of both countries can visit each other under a visa free regime hopefully we won't go as far as to destroy the results of all our efforts over the last ten years. i was the. kid we moved to a different sort of. did damascus or did any preconditions before agreeing to receive palestinian prisoners it's known that the west has been pressure in syria for hosting the hamas leadership wanted syria laird's any specific conditions and brains to receive palestinians that were released from israeli jails i want us to nickel we have to remember that syria has been part of the palestinian issue we handed over the golan heights in an attempt to resolve the issue it's impossible to break the strong link between syria and the palestinian problem which is manifested in our support for the resistance movement and attempts to resolve the problem at regional and international levels so therefore it's natural that there could be no

conditional requirements. wealthy british style. market finance come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger run no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on r.g.p. . but i am. struggling with the idea australia doing. new zealand in the

bring you the latest in science stem cell technology from the realm of russia. we've done a few jerks coverage. let's . just say it's. funny. it's. the headlines on t.v.

may be laid to rest but the controversy surrounding him that lives on all of it speculation he could have taken a trove of potentially damaging secrets to his on mog desert. but george really a critic of the current president is stripped of citizenship and threatened with expulsion from the country plans to run for the government. and the occupy wall street movement are ready use for yet another round of world wide protests to mark the g twenty summit and calls for governments to crack down on the global casino of currency trade. i remind those are the headlines for now of course the latest from the world of sport where i would imagine a tennis is probably the top news of the day that's right rory the women's season finale is now underway in where among the world's top eight are two players from russia but more on that in a moment stick around right. well

welcome to the sport here in artsy coming to you from the russian capital with me ramani costs are plenty up ahead but first the headlines. aiming high sharapova has her sights set on the world number one spot as the w.c. a championship spankin. ruby in the winning run continues as this side from cuz i'm sick sunil in moscow. and the texas rangers a rally against st louis to close in on baseball's world series title. since it is first where the eight players are competing in the w.c. a championship in is some goal this season ends in a nod to the women's tennis season has begun less than an hour ago first in action our bedrock meets of all from the czech republic and russia as it has an idea about

the play is now in its first sets and the score is the life suits of the wimbledon champion. so here's a clearer picture of how this tournaments will play out the world's top aides are divided it's a groups where maria sharapova and samantha stosur are in the white group along with a big story and maybe not while the red group sees another russian six event as either the one who's currently in action against the wimbledon champion patrick while also for that group carolyn was yaki places against her a bronze scot in little over an hour from now. but all those eternal mean everyone tries to qualify for it for the whole year i mean it's only a player so it's very special it's small but it reminds you of the great season you understand without the champions that so it's a great feeling. and it's a chance for sure rafael it's al scared it was nike as world number one following her shoulder problems it's the first time sure although it has made its. the championships since two thousand and seven as in order to have

a chance of finishing the season as world's top player she has to at least make it to the final and her white group is world number four. and french open champion as well as u.s. open winner sam stosur who will face sharapova in their opening match a little bit later on today. you know it's one of the toughest competitions of the year and then to know that you've made it in here and you're battling for you know the top spot and since last turn to me you want to give it all you have you know it's a privilege to be here again now without winning the u.s. i doubt i would have been out to get hit so it's amazing how quickly he can turn around and what but always that can i put winning a tournament like the u.s. i think. a lot of my career might be. my good year off with a good. related use or awful whose has just recovered from an ankle injury will not help her country in the fed cup final and next month periods when i robot will once

again lead the four time former champions after cold shower to be shipped named and changed their shoulder with the czech republic in moscow state line i could. see it over the chunk of it and you get even all start and there are several finals of outgoing champions it's a lead in april world number three and wimbledon champion petra will spearhead this from czech side and on the go is full of operation. probably because very strong and very consistent they have a lot of good players i'm not only good in singles but they also good in doubles so it's going to be yeah it's going to be some challenge but we're excited about it i like challenges. i will try to enjoy it and i will try to do my best. football now and in the russian premier league that's why former champions ravine has claimed their third win in a row with then two zero away the three overs in a moscow last night's no goals in the first half but alexander resigns have brought

a deadlock ten minutes after the restart and shortly afterwards not for the second with a stunning free kick. and there it is now are being remade six in sable wilds namo had their chances dropped to fourth both teams are guaranteed to make the eight of the end of the regular season there are just two more games left of bats than the table splits in soup with teams in the top half continuing to play for another six months to contest the league title and european places while the bottom eight will fight to avoid relegation the extended season is a one off to bring russian football in line with the european calends are. blocked come one seed meanwhile are up to third after their c one calm back when it starts arcanite chicle also found themselves a goal down by halftime ramond consider free kick coming off the woodwork and into the path of danielle greedy at the muscovites world cup in the second half and

finish the match on the right side of it so once coraline it is lucia call for and . on the scoreboard for the visitors it means local remain unbeaten in the league in small gains since manager josie cohen say arrived back here in july. well because it's able then as a neat lead the way but only six points separate the thought four sides in fact it's up seven are garron see the place in the championships the whole season amazingly big spending i g r a not just to get a better carlos and samuel it's also i currently hold eight spots but would still lose that crust mazhar with some games left crossman's are our four points behind on she with those two remaining games and adds a bottom is sports off tonight. who occupy the drop zone. it's axis rangers have taken a three two lead in baseball's world series after a force of victory over the st louis cardinals it means the rangers kind of wrap up

the title in game six in st louis on wednesday nights but they didn't have it all their own way in sex is the found two runs down by the second inning. and then steve shoemaker giving the car cardinals and however the rangers fight back started with a home run from mitch moreland ask ordinals a spacer chris lawrence or ben in the six trade belted a solo home runs that side of the game before mike napoli secured that's three bases loaded they had to run double to right center field out the rangers with a three two series the in the best of seven contests and just the win away from being crowned champions. i just want to throw for the best game we can win. we can't be thinking we've got to win this game because all of a sudden we might miss something we want to stay in the moment we just want to go

play i will gain and if it's good enough we will win and if it's not we play thursday but we certainly won't be young fifth thinking about we just got to win one game i've been there before and that doesn't work. now the body all for most of g.p. rider marco simone shelley has arrived back in its early after that's when a four year old was killed in a crash at the malaysian grand prix last week say much of his father paulo and fellow rider valentino rossi were on board this flight to roll seven flying world champion rusty had mentors and surely wasn't voles in the horrific conditions at the supreme circuit on sunday so much of the loss of control of his hands of light during the race and sustained fatal injuries after his helmet came off the public viewing off so much of his gauzy is planned for wednesday in his home town of chorionic with the funeral g a day later while in the wake of the tragedy italians agrees the racing pulled out of the season ending grand prix in balance yet next
